AGIM-net based subject-sensitive hashing algorithm for integrity authentication of HRRS images

Abstract

The premise of effective use of high-resolution remote sensing (HRRS) images is that the data integrity and authenticity of HRRS images must be guaranteed. This paper proposes a new subject-sensitive hashing algorithm for the integrity authentication of HRRS images. This algorithm takes AGIM-net (Attention Gate-based improved M-net) proposed in this paper to extract the subject-sensitive features of the HRRS images, and uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based method to compress and encode the extracted features. AGIM-net is an improved U-net based on attention mechanism, adding multi-scale input in the encoder stage to extract rich image features; adding multi-scale output in the decoder stage, and suppressing the features irrelevant to the subject through Attention Gate to improve the robustness of the algorithm. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm has improved robustness compared with existing algorithms, and the tamper sensitivity and security are basically equivalent to the existing algorithms.
