Multi-DS Strategy for Source Camera Identification in Few-Shot Sample Data Sets

Abstract

Source camera identification (SCI) is an intriguing problem in digital forensics, which identifies the source device of given images. However, most existing works require sufficient training samples to ensure performance. In this work, we propose a method based on semi-supervised ensemble learning (multi-DS) strategy, which extends labeled data set by multi-distance-based clustering strategy and then calibrate the pseudo-labels through a self-correction mechanism. Next, we iteratively perform the calibration-appending-training process to improve our model. We design comprehensive experiments, and our model achieves satisfactory performance on benchmark public databases (i.e., Dresden, VISION, and SOCRatES).
