Search through a database of encrypted images against a crumpled and encrypted query will remain privacy preserving only if comparisons between selective features derived from these images is executed in the encrypted domain itself. To facilitate this, the encryption process must remain transparent to specific image statistics computed in the spatial or transform domain. Consequently, the perceptual hash formed by quantizing the image statistics remains the same before and after the encryption…

Face anti-spoofing by identity masking using random walk patterns and outlier detection
TLDR
This work proposes a identity-independent architecture based on random correlated scans of natural face images that tends to capture the pixel correlation statistics with minimal content interference and shows great promise, particularly when trained on natural face sets, using a one-class support vector machine and cross-validated on other databases.
Image similarity based on eigen-correspondences
TLDR
This eigen-linking process has been found to be robust to several signal processing operations, scaling and noise insertion, despite remaining sufficiently discriminative across perceptually dissimilar images.

TLDR
The main challenge here is to develop a parametric hashing algorithm that is invariant to encryption by allowing a small part of the statistical signature of the original image to emerge despite the encryption process.

TLDR
Robustness against recompression, noise and most importantly geometric operations, stems from two factors: (a) the random sampling which provides elasticity and (b) the process of selecting the PIN-thresholds as the arithmetic mean filtered set.
