A micro-Doppler signature (m-DS) based on the rotation of drone blades is an effective way to detect and identify small drones. Deep-learning-based recognition algorithms can achieve higher recognition performance, but they needs a large amount of sample data to train models. In addition to the hovering state, the signal samples of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) should also include flight dynamics, such as vertical, pitch, forward and backward, roll, lateral, and yaw. However, it is difficult to collect all dynamic UAV signal samples under actual flight conditions, and these dynamic flight characteristics will lead to the deviation of the original features, thus affecting the performance of the recognizer. In this paper, we propose a small UAV m-DS recognition algorithm based on dynamic feature enhancement. We extract the combined principal component analysis and discrete wavelet transform (PCA-DWT) time–frequency characteristics and texture features of the UAV’s micro-Doppler signal and use a dynamic attribute-guided augmentation (DAGA) algorithm to expand the feature domain for model training to achieve an adaptive, accurate, and efficient multiclass recognition model in complex environments. After the training model is stable, the average recognition accuracy rate can reach 98% during dynamic flight.

Copy-move forgery (CMF) is an established process to copy an image segment and pastes it within the same image to hide or duplicate a portion of the image. Several CMF detection techniques are available; however, better detection accuracy with low feature vector is always substantial. For this, differential excitation component (DEC) of Weber Law descriptor in combination with the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) approach of texture feature extraction for CMFD is proposed. GLCM Texture features are computed in four directions on DEC and this acts as a feature vector for support vector machine classifier. These texture features are more distinguishable and it is validated through other two proposed methods based on discrete wavelet transform-GLCM (DWT-GLCM) and GLCM. Experimentation is carried out on CoMoFoD and CASIA databases to validate the efficacy of proposed methods. Proposed methods exhibit resilience against many post-processing attacks. Comparative analysis with existing methods shows the superiority of the proposed method (DEC-GLCM) with regard to detection accuracy.

Despite extensive research on image texture analysis, it is still problematic to characterize and segment texture images especially in the presence of complex patterns. Upon tremendous advancement of the internet and the digital technology, there is also a need for the development of simple but efficient algorithms, which can be adaptable to real-time systems. In this study, we propose such an approach based on multiresolution discrete wavelet transform (DWT). After the transform, we compute salient energy points from each directional sub-band (LH, HL, and HH) in the form of binary image by thresholding intermittency indices of wavelet coefficients. We then propose and extract two new texture features namely Salient Point Density (SPD) and Salient Point Distribution Nonuniformity (SPDN) based on the number and the distribution of salient pixels in the local neighborhood of every pixel of the multiscale binary images. We thus obtain a set of feature images, which are subsequently applied to the popular K-means algorithm for the unsupervised segmentation of texture images. Though the above representation appear simple and infrequent in the literature, it proves useful in the context of texture segmentation. Experimental results with the standard texture (Brodatz) and natural images demonstrate the robustness and potentiality of the proposed approach.
