Combination of dynamic features with a new mask to optimize neural network speech enhancement

Concerning the problem that the Neural Network speech enhancement algorithm cannot fully represent the nonlinear structure of speech due to feature selection,which leads to speech distortion.This paper proposes the combination of dynamic features with a new mask to optimize neural network speech enhancement.First,three features of noisy speech are extracted and spliced to obtain static features.Then,the first and second difference derivatives are obtained to capture the instantaneous signals of speech and fuse them into dynamic features.The combination of dynamic and static features completes internal complementarity of features and reduced speech distortion.Second,in order to enhance the intelligibility and clarity of speech at the same time,an adaptive mask is proposed,which can adjust the energy ratio of speech and noise as well as the ratio of the traditional mask and the square root mask.The Gammatone channel weight is used to modify the mask value in each channel to simulate the human auditory system and further improve the speech intelligibility.Finally,the simulation of multiple voices under different noise backgrounds shows that compared with different literature algorithms,the algorithm has a higher SNR,subjective speech quality and short-term objective intelligibility,which verifies the effectiveness of the algorithm.     

Copy Move Forgery Detection based on double matching

Copy Move is a technique widespreadly used in digital image tampering, meaning Copy Move Forgery Detection (CMFD) is still a significant research. In this paper, a novel CMFD method is proposed, including double matching process and region localizing process. In double matching process, the first matching is conducted on Delaunay triangles consisting of Local Intensity Order Pattern (LIOP) keypoints, to find the approximate location of suspicious regions. In order to find sufficient keypoint pairs, the existing set of matching triangles is expanded by adding their neighbors iteratively, covering the whole tampered regions, and the second matching with a looser threshold is conducted on the vertices. In the region localizing process, considering the case of multiple copies, Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) is used to classify the keypoint pairs described in a new model. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method, with good robustness, outperforms some state-of-the-art methods.     

一种标准模型下无证书签名方案的安全性分析与改进

无证书签名具有基于身份密码体制和传统公钥密码体制的优点，可解决复杂的公钥证书管理和密钥托管问题.Wu和Jing提出了一种强不可伪造的无证书签名方案，其安全性不依赖于理想的随机预言机.针对该方案的安全性，提出了两类伪造攻击.分析结果表明，该方案无法实现强不可伪造性，并在"malicious-but-passive"的密钥生成中心攻击下也是不安全的.为了提升该方案的安全性，设计了一个改进的无证书签名方案.在标准模型中证明了改进的方案对于适应性选择消息攻击是强不可伪造的，还能抵抗恶意的密钥生成中心攻击.此外，改进的方案具有较低的计算开销和较短的私钥长度，可应用于区块链、车联网、无线体域网等领域.     

Tibetan Multi-Dialect Speech and Dialect Identity Recognition

Tibetan language has very limited resource for conventional automatic speech recognition so far. It lacks of enough data, sub-word unit, lexicons and word inventories for some dialects. And speech content recognition and dialect classification have been treated as two independent tasks and modeled respectively in most prior works. But the two tasks are highly correlated. In this paper, we present a multi-task WaveNet model to perform simultaneous Tibetan multi-dialect speech recognition and dialect identification. It avoids processing the pronunciation dictionary and word segmentation for new dialects, while, in the meantime, allows training speech recognition and dialect identification in a single model. The experimental results show our method can simultaneously recognize speech content for different Tibetan dialects and identify the dialect with high accuracy using a unified model. The dialect information used in output for training can improve multi-dialect speech recognition accuracy, and the low-resource dialects got higher speech content recognition rate and dialect classification accuracy by multi-dialect and multi-task recognition model than task-specific models.     

针对多种处理痕迹的数字语音取证算法

现有的数字语音取证研究主要集中于对单一的某种操作进行检测，无法对不相关的操作进行判断。针对该问题，提出了一种能够同时检测经过变调、低通滤波、高通滤波和加噪这四种操作的数字语音取证方法。首先，计算语音的归一化梅尔频率倒谱系数（MFCC）统计矩特征；然后通过多个二分类器对特征进行训练，并组合投票得到多分类器；最后使用该多分类器对待测语音进行分类。在TIMIT以及UME语音库上的实验结果表明，归一化MFCC统计矩特征在库内实验中均达到了97%以上的检测率，且在对MP3压缩鲁棒性测试的实验中，检测率仍能保持在96%以上。     

Copy-move forgery detection of duplicated objects using accurate PCET moments and morphological operators

This paper presents a new method for copy-move forgery detection of duplicated objects. A bounding rectangle is drawn around the detected object to form a sub-image. Morphological operator is used to remove the unnecessary small objects. Highly accurate polar complex exponential transform moments are used as features for the detected objects. Euclidian distance and correlation coefficient between the feature vectors are calculated and used for searching the similar objects. A set of 20 forged images with duplicated objects is carefully selected from previously published works. Additional 80 non-forged images are edited by the authors and forged by duplicating different kinds of objects. Numerical simulation is performed where the results show that the proposed method successfully detect different kinds of duplicated objects. The proposed method is much faster than the previously existing methods. Also, it exhibits high robustness to various attacks such as additive white Gaussian noise, JPEG compression, rotation, and scaling.

Collaboration and novel approaches between both smart sensors and speech algorithms should be attempted to realize a hyperconnected society, which can offer personalized services such as biometric authentication, AI secretaries, and home appliances. Here, representative developments in speech recognition are reviewed in terms of flexible piezoelectric materials, self-powered sensors, machine learning algorithms, and speaker recognition.     

DFD-SS: Document Forgery Detection using Spectral – Spatial Features for Hyperspectral Images

In the present era of machines and edge-cutting technologies, still document frauds persist. They are done intuitively by using almost identical inks, that it becomes challenging to detect them—this demands an approach that efficiently investigates the document and leaves it intact. Hyperspectral imaging is one such a type of approach that captures the images from hundreds to thousands of spectral bands and analyzes the images through their spectral and spatial features, which is not possible by conventional imaging. Deep learning is an edge-cutting technology known for solving critical problems in various domains. Utilizing supervised learning imposes constraints on its usage in real scenarios, as the inks used in forgery are not known prior. Therefore, it is beneficial to use unsupervised learning. An unsupervised feature extraction through a Convolutional Autoencoder (CAE) followed by Logistic Regression (LR) for classification is proposed (CAE-LR). Feature extraction is evolved around spectral bands, spatial patches, and spectral-spatial patches. We inspected the impact of spectral, spatial, and spectral-spatial features by mixing inks in equal and unequal proportion using CAE-LR on the UWA writing ink hyperspectral images dataset for blue and black inks. Hyperspectral images are captured at multiple correlated spectral bands, resulting in information redundancy handled by restoring certain principal components. The proposed approach is compared with eight state-of-art approaches used by the researchers. The results depicted that by using the combination of spectral and spatial patches, the classification accuracy enhanced by 4.85% for black inks and 0.13% for blue inks compared to state-of-art results. In the present scenario, the primary area concern is to identify and detect the almost similar inks used in document forgery, are efficiently managed by the proposed approach.

检测小篡改区域的U型网络

目的 图像篡改区域检测是图像取证领域的一个挑战性任务,其目的是找出图像的篡改区域。传统方法仅针对某种特定的篡改方式进行设计,难以检测其他篡改方式的图像。基于卷积神经网络的方法能够自适应地提取特征,同时检测包含多种篡改方式的图像。但是其中多数方法都选择增强图像的噪声特征,这种机制无法较好处理篡改区域与原图像来源相同、噪声相似的情况。多数方法还忽略了篡改区域过小而产生的样本不平衡问题,导致检测效果不佳。方法 提出了一个基于区域损失的用于检测小篡改区域的U型网络,该网络构建了一个异常区域特征增强机制,放大与图像背景差异较大的异常区域的特征。此外,还利用区域损失增强对篡改区域框内像素的判别能力,可以解决因篡改区域过小而产生的样本不平衡问题。结果 消融实验说明了异常区域特征增强机制和区域损失机制的有效性;对JPEG压缩和高斯模糊的对抗性测试证明了模型的鲁棒性;在CASIA2.0（CASI-A image tampering detection evaluation database）、NIST2016（NIST nimble 2016 datasets）、COLUMBIA （Columbia uncompressed image splicing detection evaluation dataset）和COVERAGE （a novel database forcopy-move forgery detection）数据集上与最新方法进行比较时,本文方法取得了最优性能,其F1 score分别为0.979 5、0.982 2、0.995 3和0.987 0。结论 本文的异常区域特征增强机制和区域损失机制能有效提高模型性能,同时缓解篡改区域过小导致的样本不平衡问题,大量实验也表明了本文提出的小篡改区域检测方法的优越性。
