  • Grafika Rastrowa I Wektorowa
    GRAFIKA RASTROWA I WEKTOROWA Grafikę komputerową, w dużym uproszczeniu, można podzielić na dwa rodzaje: 1) grafikę rastrową, zwaną też bitmapową, pikselową, punktową 2) grafikę wektorową zwaną obiektową. Grafika rastrowa – obraz budowany jest z prostokątnej siatki punktów (pikseli). Skalowanie rysunków bitmapowych powoduje najczęściej utratę jakości. Grafika ta ma największe zastosowanie w fotografice cyfrowej. Popularne formaty to: BMP, JPG, TIFF, PNG GIF, PCX, PNG, RAW Znane edytory graficzne: Paint, Photoshop, Gimp. Grafika wektorowa – stosuje obiekty graficzne zwane prymitywami takie jak: punkty, linie, krzywe opisane parametrami matematycznymi. Podstawową zaletą tej grafiki jest bezstratna zmian rozmiarów obrazów bez zniekształceń. Popularne formaty to: SVG, CDR, EPS, WMF - cilparty Znane edytory graficzne: Corel Draw, Sodipodi, Inscape, Adobe Ilustrator, 3DS LISTA PROGRAMÓW DO GRAFIKI BITMAPOWEJ Darmowe: CinePaint , DigiKam , GIMP , GimPhoto , GIMPshop , GNU Paint , GrafX2 , GraphicsMagick , ImageJ , ImageMagick , KolourPaint , Krita , LiveQuartz , MyPaint , Pencil , Pinta , Pixen , Rawstudio , RawTherapee , Seashore , Shotwell , Tile Studio , Tux Paint , UFRaw , XPaint , ArtRage Starter Edition , Artweaver , Brush Strokes Image Editor , Chasys Draw IES , FastStone Image Viewer , Fatpaint , Fotografix , IrfanView , Paint.NET , Picasa , Picnik , Pixia , Project Dogwaffle , TwistedBrush Open Studio , Xnview Płatne: Ability Photopaint, ACD Canvas, Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop Elements,

    1 Digital Image Authentication from JPEG Headers Eric Kee, Micah K. Johnson and Hany Farid Abstract— It is often desirable to determine if an image has several features of the JPEG format not previously considered, been modified in any way from its original recording. The namely properties of the run-length encoding employed by the JPEG format affords engineers many implementation trade-offs JPEG standard, and aspects of the EXIF header format. This which give rise to widely varying JPEG headers. We exploit these variations for image authentication. A camera signature analysis is validated on over 1:3 million images spanning 33 is extracted from a JPEG image consisting of information different camera manufacturers and 773 different camera and about quantization tables, Huffman codes, thumbnails, and EXIF cellphone models. format. We show that this signature is highly distinct across 1:3 million images spanning 773 different cameras and cellphones. Specifically, 62% of images have a signature that is unique to II. METHODS a single camera, 80% of images have a signature that is shared The JPEG file format has emerged as a universal image by three or fewer cameras, and 99% of images have a signature standard employed by nearly all commercial digital cam- that is unique to a single manufacturer. The signature of Adobe Photoshop is also shown to be unique relative to all 773 cameras. eras [30], [31]. As such, we consider the details of this These signatures are simple to extract and offer an efficient encoding scheme, and how these details vary among cameras method to establish the authenticity of a digital image.

    DIGITAL IMAGE ANALYSIS: ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK FOR AUTHENTICATING DIGITAL IMAGES by Scott Dale Anderson B.S., University of Colorado Denver, 2001 A thesis submitted to the University of Colorado Denver in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Media Forensics 2011 © 2011 by Scott Dale Anderson All rights reserved This thesis for the Master of Science degree by Scott Dale Anderson has been approved by ____________________________________________________ Catalin Grigoras ____________________________________________________ Jeff M. Smith ____________________________________________________ Gregory Walker ____________________________________________________ Richard W. Vorder Bruegge __________________________________ Date Anderson, Scott Dale (M.S., Media Forensics) Digital Image Analysis: Analytical Framework for Authenticating Digital Images Thesis directed by Associate Professor Catalin Grigoras ABSTRACT Due to the widespread availability of image processing software, it has become easier to produce visually convincing image forgeries. To overcome this issue, there has been considerable work in the digital image analysis field to determine forgeries when no visual indications exist. However, while certain manipulation techniques can elude one or more analyses, it may difficult to elude them all. This thesis proposes an analytical framework to help analysts determine the authenticity of digital images by considering the digital file and the image structure. Since statistical models are not possible for all digital image authentication cases, analytical evaluations are sometimes used to determine how observed features in the image structure compare to known characteristics of digital image creation. Chapter 1 explains digital image creation, tasks of an image analyst, and the principles that outline how forensic science is applied to court and the law. Chapter 2 reviews the current literature on digital image forgery detection and how they apply to an image file.
