Abstract

Source camera identification is an important branch in the field of digital forensics. Most existing works are based on the assumption that the number of training samples is sufficient. However, in practice, it is unrealistic to obtain a large amount of labeled samples. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of low accuracy for existing methods in a few-shot scenario, we propose a novel identification method called prototype construction with ensemble projection (PCEP). In this work, we extract a variety of features from few-shot datasets to obtain rich prior information. Then, we introduce semi-supervised learning to complete the construction of prototype sets. Subsequently, we use the prototype sets to retrain SVM classifiers, and take the posterior probability of each image sample belonging to each class as the final projection vector. Finally, we obtain classification results through ensemble learning voting. The PCEP method combines feature extraction, feature projection, classifier training and ensemble learning into a unified framework, which makes full use of image information of few-shot datasets. We conduct comprehensive experiments on multiple benchmark databases (i.e., Dresden, VISION and SOCRatES), and empirically show that our method achieves satisfactory performance and outperforms many recent methods in a few-shot scenario.
