Image forgery detection algorithm based on U-shaped detection network by Zhuzhu WANG

“…Aiming at the defects of traditional image tampering detection algorithm relying on single image attribute,low applicability and current high time-complexity detection algorithm based on deep learning,an U-shaped detection network image forgery detection algorithm was proposed.Firstly,the multi-stage feature information in the image by using the continuous convolution layers and the max-pooling layers was extracted by U-shaped detection network,and then the obtained feature information to the resolution of the input image through the upsampling operation was restored.At the same time,in order to ensure higher detection accuracy while extracting high-level semantic information of the image,the output features of each stage in U-shaped detection network would be merged with the corresponding output features through the upsampling layer.Further the hidden feature information between tampered and un-tampered regions in the image upon the characteristics of the general network was explored by U-shaped detection network,which could be realized quickly by using its end-to-end network structure and extracting the attributes of strong correlation information among image contexts that could ensure high-precision detection results.Finally,the conditional random field was used to optimize the output of the U-shaped detection network to obtain a more exact detection results.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms those traditional forgery detection algorithms based on single image attribute and the current deep learning-based detection algorithm,and has good robustness.…”

المعارض عبر الانترنت ومدى اتاحتها على مواقع المکتبات الوطنية by وسام الزغبى

“…Exhibitions play a vital role in spreading knowledge by basic memoryinstitutions (libraries - archives - museums), but traditional exhibitions faceproblems or restrictions, the most important of which are space and size, andthey may also encounter problems that require their elimination or postponementof some emergency circumstances such as wars and epidemics, as happened inthe last time due to the spread of the Corona virus, which led officials to the ideaof finding replacements to traditional exhibitions, as ideas turned towards onlineexhibitions.From here, the problem of this study crystallized around knowing theconcept of online exhibitions (electronic / virtual), identifying the advantages theyoffer and the defects related to them, studying the characteristics of thoseexhibitions and design steps, in addition to studying the availability of theseexhibitions on the websites of national libraries.The study relied on the descriptive analytical method to achieve itsobjectives depending on the search engines to restrict the society of the study,which restricted the number (222) national libraries all over the world, (73)national libraries were excluded because they do not have a website or only havea page on Facebook , the number of national libraries under study that have awebsite on the Internet has become (149) national libraries, as the study hasproven the existence of (40) national library sites that hold electronic or virtualexhibitions, by 27% from total libraries under study which are (149) NationalLibraries.…”

“…The wear loss of the B-Q&P sample is lower than that of the Q-B&P and Q&T samples, which can be ascribed to the improved toughness and enhanced surface microhardness that come from the transformation of retained austenite, the production of nanoscale crystalline structures, and the accumulation of dislocation defects. Some spalling damage characteristics can be observed on the wear surfaces of the Q-B&P and Q&T samples, whereas only delamination damage characteristics are present on the wear surface of the B-Q&P sample. …”
