Description
Summary:Transformer-based subject-sensitive hashing algorithms exhibit good integrity authentication performance and have the potential to ensure the authenticity and convenience of high-resolution remote sensing (HRRS) images. However, the robustness of Transformer-based subject-sensitive hashing is still not ideal. In this paper, we propose a Multi-PatchDrop mechanism to improve the performance of Transformer-based subject-sensitive hashing. The Multi-PatchDrop mechanism determines different patch dropout values for different Transformer blocks in ViT models. On the basis of a Multi-PatchDrop, we propose an improved Swin-Unet for implementing subject-sensitive hashing. In this improved Swin-Unet, Multi-PatchDrop has been integrated, and each Swin Transformer block (except the first one) is preceded by a patch dropout layer. Experimental results demonstrate that the robustness of our proposed subject-sensitive hashing algorithm is not only stronger than that of the CNN-based algorithms but also stronger than that of Transformer-based algorithms. The tampering sensitivity is of the same intensity as the AGIM-net and M-net-based algorithms, stronger than other Transformer-based algorithms.
