The accuracy of Fresh Tea Sprouts Detection (FTSD) is not high enough, which has become a big bottleneck in the field of vision-based automatic tea picking technology. In order to improve the detection performance, we rethink the process of FTSD. Meanwhile, motivated by the multispectral image processing, we find that more input information can lead to a better detection result. With this in mind, a novel Fresh Tea Sprouts Detection method via Image Enhancement and Fusion Single-Shot Detector (FTSD-IEFSSD) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, we obtain an enhanced image via RGB-channel-transform-based image enhancement algorithm, which uses the original fresh tea sprouts color image as the input. The enhanced image can provide more input information, where the contrast in the fresh tea sprouts area is increased and the background area is decreased. Then, the enhanced image and color image is used in the detection subnetwork with the backbone of ResNet50 separately. We also use the multilayer semantic fusion and scores fusion to further improve the detection accuracy. The strategy of tea sprouts shape-based default boxes is also included during the training. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a better performance on FTSD than the state-of-the-art methods.

The quality of remotely sensed satellite images depends on the reflected electromagnetic radiation from the earth’s surface features. Lack of consistent and similar amounts of energy reflected by different features from the earth’s surface results in a poor contrast satellite image. Image enhancement is the image processing of improving the quality that the results are more suitable for display or further image analysis. In this paper, we present a detailed model for color image enhancement using the quaternion framework. We introduce a novel quaternionic frequency enhancement algorithm that can combine the color channels and the local and global image processing. The basic idea is to apply the α-rooting image enhancement approach for different image blocks. For this purpose, we split image in moving windows on disjoint blocks. The parameter alfa for every block and the weights for every local and global enhanced image driven through optimization of measure of enhancement (EMEC). Some presented experimental results illustrate the performance of the proposed approach on color satellite images in comparison with the state-of-the-art methods.

Internet of Things (IoT) image sensors, social media, and smartphones generate huge volumes of digital images every day. Easy availability and usability of photo editing tools have made forgery attacks, primarily splicing and copy–move attacks, effortless, causing cybercrimes to be on the rise. While several models have been proposed in the literature for detecting these attacks, the robustness of those models has not been investigated when (i) a low number of tampered images are available for model building or (ii) images from IoT sensors are distorted due to image rotation or scaling caused by unwanted or unexpected changes in sensors’ physical set-up. Moreover, further improvement in detection accuracy is needed for real-word security management systems. To address these limitations, in this paper, an innovative image forgery detection method has been proposed based on Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and a new feature extraction method using the mean operator. First, images are divided into non-overlapping fixed size blocks and 2D block DCT is applied to capture changes due to image forgery. Then LBP is applied to the magnitude of the DCT array to enhance forgery artifacts. Finally, the mean value of a particular cell across all LBP blocks is computed, which yields a fixed number of features and presents a more computationally efficient method. Using Support Vector Machine (SVM), the proposed method has been extensively tested on four well known publicly available gray scale and color image forgery datasets, and additionally on an IoT based image forgery dataset that we built. Experimental results reveal the superiority of our proposed method over recent state-of-the-art methods in terms of widely used performance metrics and computational time and demonstrate robustness against low availability of forged training samples.

In order to improve the ensemble of color image, this paper proposes homomorphism decomposition—wavelet enhancement algorithm based on the basic principle of Wavelet Transform. We separate the incidence component and reflection component of the image by homomorphism decomposition, and then combine wavelet transform to enhance image as well as reserve details. The experimental result shows that the adaption and effect is obviously superior to MSRCR.

This paper proposes an improved color image enhancement algorithm based on 3-D color histogram equalization algorithm. When the existed 3-D color histogram equalization algorithms in the literatures are applied in processing dim color images, the processed color images often turn pale due to the decrease of color-saturations and have false contours due to gray-scale merging phenomenon in the histogram equalization algorithm. In this paper, the proposed algorithm can make more pixels of the processed color images keep their color-saturations and reduce the gray-scale merging with Logarithmic histogram equalization algorithm. Test results with dim color images present a better effect of image enhancement.

Due to the high proportion of aircraft faults caused by cracks in aircraft structures, crack inspection in aircraft structures has long played an important role in the aviation industry. The existing approaches, however, are time-consuming or have poor accuracy, given the complex background of aircraft structure images. In order to solve these problems, we propose the YOLOv3-Lite method, which combines depthwise separable convolution, feature pyramids, and YOLOv3. Depthwise separable convolution is employed to design the backbone network for reducing parameters and for extracting crack features effectively. Then, the feature pyramid joins together low-resolution, semantically strong features at a high-resolution for obtaining rich semantics. Finally, YOLOv3 is used for the bounding box regression. YOLOv3-Lite is a fast and accurate crack detection method, which can be used on aircraft structure such as fuselage or engine blades. The result shows that, with almost no loss of detection accuracy, the speed of YOLOv3-Lite is 50% more than that of YOLOv3. It can be concluded that YOLOv3-Lite can reach state-of-the-art performance.

Packing is the most common analysis avoidance technique for hiding malware. Also, packing can make it harder for the security researcher to identify the behaviour of malware and increase the analysis time. In order to analyze the packed malware, we need to perform unpacking first to release the packing. In this paper, we focus on unpacking and its related technologies to analyze the packed malware. Through extensive analysis on previous unpacking studies, we pay attention to four important drawbacks: no phase integration, no detection combination, no real-restoration, and no unpacking verification. To resolve these four drawbacks, in this paper, we present an all-in-one structure of the unpacking system that performs packing detection, unpacking (i.e., restoration), and verification phases in an integrated framework. For this, we first greatly increase the packing detection accuracy in the detection phase by combining four existing and new packing detection techniques. We then improve the unpacking phase by using the state-of-the-art static and dynamic unpacking techniques. We also present a verification algorithm evaluating the accuracy of unpacking results. Experimental results show that the proposed all-in-one unpacking system performs all of the three phases well in an integrated framework. In particular, the proposed hybrid detection method is superior to the existing methods, and the system performs unpacking very well up to 100% of restoration accuracy for most of the files except for a few packers.
