2 COMPARISON OF IMAGE-BASED FUNCTIONAL MONITORING THROUGH RESAMPLING AND COMPRESSION Steven J. Simse, Margaret Sturgill, Jason S. Aronoff Hewlett-Pacard Labs, 3404 E. Harmony Rd. MS 36, Fort Collins CO USA ABSTRACT Image-based alications such as remote surveillance, environmental monitoring, and robotic navigation are often bandwidth-limited, and benefit from image down-samling or comression. Often a decision is made without considering the relative imact on the functional goal of the monitoring of the different down-samling and/or comression choices. In this aer, we use a secific remote monitoring alication the distinction between images of authentic roducts and counterfeit roducts to assess the imact of down-samling and comression on the classification accuracy of the counterfeit detection imaging software. Index Terms Image forensics, counterfeit detection, classification, accuracy, lossy comression, down-samling 1. INTRODUCTION The ubiquity of mobile cameras has made ossible new imaging alications allowing consumers to interact with hysical/rinted materials in the environment, such as signage [1] and location-secific symbology [2]. Related alications include consumer interrogation of roduct acaging. Numerous organizations, including the Oen Mobile Alliance [3] and the GS1 Mobile Com Extended Pacaging roject [4], also connect the consumer to the branded roduct through imaging-based services. For security alications, bar codes and/or RFID chis are used to rovide EPCglobal [5] mass serialization along with other security information (unique IDs, digital signatures of other rinted information, etc.). These and other so-called security rinted deterrents use valuable real estate (dedicated area to rint) on the rinted material, and so may conflict with the roduct branding and messaging. Examle of security deterrents are given in Figure 1. Many rinted materials cannot accommodate security deterrents due to sace (e.g. labels and medallions) or aesthetic (e.g. cororate/branded documents) concerns. As a consequence, we are interested in suorting, where ossible, a deterrent-free aroach. As mobile camera imaging caabilities continue to increase, this becomes feasible for more and more cature devices. In fact, it may soon be the case that networ bandwidth, and not image quality, will be the rimary consideration for mobile roduct authentication. To address this issue, we herein consider multile image comression and resamling strategies to see if roduct authentication could be rovided with significantly reduced bandwidth. Section 2 describes the exeriments erformed; Section 3 highlights the results; and we interret these results in Section 4. Figure 1. Samles of three different security rinting deterrents: 2D barcode (left), color barcode with microtext (center) and 1D barcode (right). 2. EXPERIMENTS PERFORMED We obtained original acages for 10 authentic and 10 counterfeit HP injet cartridges. Five different tyes of images were each scanned at 600x600 dots/inch (di) horizontal x vertical resolution using a desto (HP Scanjet 8200), as shown in Figure 2. These are a set of two barcodes (hereafter Barcode ), a blue sot color region ( Blue ), a set of color targets for rint quality assurance ( Color ), a set of five branding images searated by whitesace ( Images ) and a single large image ( Meadow ). The image areas were aroximately 2.7, 2.8, 2.3, 4.2 and 10.1 in 2, resectively. Ten image rocessing measurements, comrising the feature set, were comuted for each of these 100 images (5 different images each from the 10 authentic and 10 counterfeit acages). Image entroy ( e, Equation 1) and standard deviation of the image histogram ( Std(H I ), Equation 2), were comuted from the intensities of the individual ixels,, as shown below. Other metrics comuted were the ercent of ixels with largest relative neighborhood variance ( %Edges ), the mean value for these edges ( μ Edge ), and the mean ixel variance, PV xy, based on the local differences in ixel intensity (Equation 3). e 0 ln 0 0 Equation 1

Mean connected comonent region size and variance were comuted after thresholding the images based on ixel intensity ( Intensity and Intensity-σ*σ, resectively) and based on saturation ( Saturation and Saturationσ*σ, resectively). These metrics were also comuted for the same images down-samled using ImageMagic [6] resamle otion to 10 (Images, Meadow only), 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 200 and 300 di vertical x horizontal resolution; and for images comressed using JPEG to 1% or 2% original image size (effectively 60 and 85 di, resectively) before and after (effectively 30 and 42 di, resectively) down-samling to 300 di. Down-samling is abbreviated as DS, and Jeg comression as JC. To indicate the effect of DS and JC on file size, we adot the terminology DS x = down-samled by factor x; and JC y = Jeg-comressed by factor y. Thus, since DS is erformed in both directions, downsamling to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 150, 200 and 300 di is designated DS 3600, DS 900, DS 400, DS 225, DS 144, DS 100, DS 64, DS 36, DS 16, DS 9, and DS 4. Jeg comression to 1% and 2% of file size are designated JC 100 (to 1/100 th size) and JC 50, resectively. Since the Jeg comression was receded by down-samling in two cases, these image transformations are referred to as (DS 4,JC 100 ) and (DS 4,JC 50 ). 3. RESULTS The five different tyes of images illustrated in Figure 2 varied greatly by image metric. Seven of the metrics (e, ) Std(H I ), %Edges, Intensity, Intensity-σ*σ, Saturation, and Saturation-σ*σ ) distinguished the Images and Meadow classes from the other 3 classes, and Saturation-σ*σ distinguishes the class Images from the class Meadow. The metrics PV xy and μ Sat rovide assignment of the remaining images to the Barcode, Blue and Colors classes. Thus, a decision tree was used to assign each original image to one of these five tyes based on one or more of these 10 redictive metrics. A reviously described classifier [7] was then used to identify authentic and counterfeit images for each of these five image tyes. Each metric is assigned a critical oint (CPt, see Figure 3) to one side of which it is assigned to authentic and the other to counterfeit. Table 1. Minimum down-samling resolution (original image at 600 di in each direction) at which α CPt, indicative of feature classification accuracy, was greater than of equal to that achieved for the original (600di) image. Parameter Barcode Blue Color Images Meadow e Std(H I ) %Edges μ Edge PV xy μ Sat Intensity Intensity-σ*σ Saturation Saturationσ*σ Previous wor [8, 9, 10] has shown that statistical image metrics can redict image degradation and also be used to grade the quality of image restoration. We alied this aroach herein to assess the functional metric of correctly assigning an image to counterfeit or authentic. The
4 binary classifier [7] rovides a comarative metric for accuracy, the statistical confidence at the critical oint (α CPt ), which was used to determine the functional monitoring caability of the down-samled images. Figure 3. Critical oint (CPt) between two oulations is where area A = area B. Either of these areas is equal to the 1- α(cpt) as described in text. That is, for each metric (Table 1), and for the mean of all 10 metrics (as described in [7]), we comuted α CPt and comared it to the α CPt measured for the original 600 di images. If α CPt for the down-samled or comressed images >= α CPt for the 600 di original images, then we are better off transmitting the smaller images. Table 2. Original and transformed D x = down-samled by factor x; and/or JC y = Jeg-comressed by factor y images and the accuracy of classification. Original classification accuracy (to data row) is given in bold and italics. Any transformed image sets with higher classification accuracy than the original images are shown in boldface in the other rows. Image Barcode Blue Color Images Meadow Tye Original DS 4,JC DS 4,JC JC JC DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS For the mean of all ten metrics, the α CPt was.896, 0.708, 0.788, and (i.e. between 70%-90% accuracy) for Barcode, Blue, Color, Images and Meadow tyes, resectively (Table 2). The overall classification accuracy (using the binary classifier and all ten metrics) was 100% for all image sizes of the Barcode, Images and Meadow classes sizes; for the Color class image sizes from di and when comressed from the 600 di original; and for the image sizes 40, 50, 75, 300 and 600 di for the Blue class. So, the classifier [7] was, in general, effective at differentiating authentic from counterfeit images. We TF, or at-accuracy throughut factor, as the relative number of images (comared to 1 at 600 di) that can be successfully assigned to counterfeit or authentic classes with an accuracy >= the accuracy obtained for the original 600 di images, while using the same overall size in memory. For TF was 1, 4, 9, 900 and 3600, resectively, for the Barcode, Blue, Color, Images and Meadow image tyes. For comression, only the Blue and Meadow classes had TF value greater than 1: secifically, 100 for the Blue images comressed from 600 di originals, and 400 for the Meadow images. That is, all four comression aroaches for the Meadow images resulted in higher classification accuracy than for the uncomressed original images. 4. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Our results suort the following aroach to remote functional monitoring: (1) classify the image; (2) determine the smallest image (either down-samled or comressed) for which α CPt is >= to α CPt for the 600 di original image; (3) transmit this smaller image; and (4) erform functional monitoring (in this case, correctly classifying each image). In this way, we achieved a higher overall accuracy by sending the Barcode images unaltered; comressing the Blue images by a factor of 100; and down-samling the Color, Images and Meadow images by factors of 9, 900 and 3600, resectively. This overall system results in an TF of 4.45; that is, imroved accuracy is achieved with a 4.45 reduction in transmission bandwidth. The strategies described herein are examles of what we define as functional imaging, wherein the transformations erformed on the image are selected by the tas or worflow to be comleted. For three of the image tyes investigated, a substantial, lossy reduction in image size was ossible without reducing the accuracy of classification. This significant increase in throughut of images for counterfeit detection is achieved without sacrificing accuracy. It is imortant to stress that the goal is not to transmit images that might be visually leasing, but rather ones that contain enough information to erform the tas (Figure 4). In contrast to revious studies [11, 12, 13] on comression and image classification, however, classification accuracy was actually shown to imrove with increased image down-samling and/or comression. The results for classification are at first counterintuitive: smaller images actually classify with higher overall accuracy than the originals. This may be a consequence of the classifier used. The classifier selected [7] is designed to wor best with Gaussian data, and the downsamling oeration as well as many of the Jeg
5 comression settings utilized, in which considerable loss of frequency information is obvious when viewing is an averaging oeration. The image metrics of the down-samled and/or Jeg comressed images, therefore, are liely more Gaussian than the metrics of the original images. 5.

Meadow image at original 600 x 600 di (to) and the corresonding down-samled and Jeg comressed, (DS 4,JC 100 ) version of the Meadow image (bottom). The smallest images created (DS and DS 3600, for most of the images) were too small to assess because several of the features in the feature set Intensity, Intensityσ*σ, Saturation and Saturation-σ*σ, in articular were not calculable for these small images due to the small size of the regions formed. However, only the Meadow images showed increased classification accuracy at the smallest size investigated, so we did not alter the feature set to allow even smaller sizes. The reliminary findings reorted here are very romising. Future wor will focus on increasing the samle sizes er image tye and class, and on using additional image tyes, to determine the reeatability and breadth of alication for the aroach. Additional classifiers will also be tested to see if the successful functional imaging aroach for counterfeit image classification described here is an idiosyncratic consequence of the classifier chosen. The exeriments erformed here used a single resamling (down-samling) aroach, and a single comression (Jeg) aroach. Additional resamling (e.g. Hermite, cubic, etc.) and comression aroaches will be considered in future exeriments. Finally, we will exlore the otimal deloyment settings for the system, based on the range of DS and/or JC transformations that TF. In addition to remote surveillance and environmental monitoring, the techniques described here can be used to determine image down-samling or comression recommendations for other functional monitoring roduct authentication/counterfeit detection. Since the classification of images is functional that is, deendent on the tas at hand we believe a consideration of whether to downsamle or comress (and by what factor) should be an imortant art of any image-based monitoring alication.
