A Lightweight Hybrid Model with Location-Preserving ViT for Efficient Food Recognition.

Food-image recognition plays a pivotal role in intelligent nutrition management, and lightweight recognition methods based on deep learning are crucial for enabling mobile deployment. This capability empowers individuals to effectively manage their daily diet and nutrition using devices such as smartphones. In this study, we propose an Efficient Hybrid Food Recognition Net (EHFR-Net), a novel neural network that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT).

A new anti-forensic scheme--hiding the single JPEG compression trace for digital image.

To prevent image forgeries, a number of forensic techniques for digital image have been developed that can detect an image's origin, trace its processing history, and can also locate the position of tampering. Especially, the statistical footprint left by JPEG compression operation can be a valuable source of information for the forensic analyst, and some image forensic algorithm have been raised based on the image statistics in the DCT domain. Recently, it has been shown that footprints can be removed by adding a suitable anti-forensic dithering signal to the image in the DCT domain, this results in invalid for some image forensic algorithms.
