This paper proposes a website fingerprinting method using ensemble learning over a Tor network that guarantees client anonymity and personal information. We construct a training problem for website fingerprinting from the traffic packets collected in the Tor network, and compare the performance of the website fingerprinting system using tree-based ensemble models. A training feature vector is prepared from the general information, burst, cell sequence length, and cell order that are extracted from the traffic sequence, and the features of each website are represented with a fixed length. For experimental evaluation, we define four learning problems (Wang14, BW, CW_T, CW_H) according to the use of website fingerprinting, and compare the performance with the support vector machine model using CUMUL feature vectors. In the experimental evaluation, the proposed statistical-based training feature representation is superior to the CUMUL feature representation except for the BW case.

Next, use descriptor of original video to build a two type of fingerprinting database and matching with query video. To efficient and effective video copy detection, method have high robustness, independence, matching speed. In proposed method, group feature have high robustness and independence in variable modification of video. Building a original fingerprinting database is able to fast matching with query video.

Radio frequency fingerprinting refers to a methodology that extracts hardware-specific characteristics of a transmitter that are unintentionally embedded in a transmitted waveform. In this paper, we put forward a fingerprinting feature and deep learning structure that can identify the same type of Digital Mobile Radio(DMR) by inputting the in-phase(I) and quadrature(Q). We proposes using the magnitude in polar coordinates of I/Q as RF fingerprinting feature and a modified ResNet-1D structure that can identify them. Experimental results show that our proposed modified ResNet-1D structure can achieve recognition accuracy of 99.5% on 20 DMR.

In this paper, it was presented a design on the dynamic multimedia fingerprinting code for anti-collusion code(ACC) in the protection of multimedia content. Multimedia fingerprinting code for the conventional ACC, is designed with a mathematical method to increase k to k+1 by transform from BIBD's an incidence matrix to a complement matrix. A codevector of the complement matrix is allowanced fingerprinting code to a user' authority and embedded into a content. In the proposed algorithm, the feature points were drawing from a content which user bought, with based on these to design the dynamical multimedia fingerprinting code. The candidate codes of ACC which satisfied BIBD's v and k+1 condition is registered in the codebook, and then a matrix is generated(Below that it calls "Rhee matrix") with ${\lambda}+1$ condition. In the experimental results, the codevector of Rhee matrix based on a feature point of the content is generated to exist k in the confidence interval at the significance level ($1-{\alpha}$). Euclidean distances between row and row and column and column each other of Rhee matrix is working out same k value as like the compliment matrices based on BIBD and Graph. Moreover, first row and column of Rhee matrix are an initial firing vector and to be a forensic mark of content protection. Because of the connection of the rest codevectors is reported in the codebook, when trace a colluded code, it isn't necessity to solve a correlation coefficient between original fingerprinting code and the colluded code but only search the codebook then a trace of the colluder is easy. Thus, the generated Rhee matrix in this paper has an excellent robustness and fidelity more than the mathematically generated matrix based on BIBD as ACC.

This paper proposes a robust binary audio fingerprinting method by minimizing hinge-loss function. In the proposed method, the type of fingerprints is binary, which is conducive in reducing the size of fingerprint DB. In general, the binarization of features for fingerprinting deteriorates the performance of fingerprinting system, such as robustness and discriminability. Thus it is necessary to minimize such performance loss. Since the similarity between two audio clips is represented by a hinge-like function, we propose a method to derive a binary fingerprinting by minimizing a hinge-loss function. The derived hinge-loss function is minimized by using the minimal loss hashing. Experiments over thousands of songs demonstrate that the identification performance of binary fingerprinting can be improved by minimizing the proposed hinge loss function.

The existing indoor localization method using Wi-Fi fingerprinting has a high collection cost and relatively low accuracy, thus requiring integrated correction of convergence with other technologies. This paper proposes a new method that significantly reduces collection costs compared to existing methods using Wi-Fi fingerprinting. Furthermore, it does not require labeling of data at collection and can estimate pedestrian travel paths even in large indoor spaces. The proposed pedestrian movement path estimation process is as follows. Data collection is accomplished by setting up a feature area near an indoor space intersection, moving through the set feature areas, and then collecting data without labels. The collected data are processed using Kernel Linear Discriminant Analysis (KLDA) and the valley point of the Euclidean distance value between two data is obtained within the feature space of the data. We build learning data by labeling data corresponding to valley points and some nearby data by feature area numbers, and labeling data between valley points and other valley points as path data between each corresponding feature area. Finally, for testing, data are collected randomly through indoor space, KLDA is applied as previous data to build test data, the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) algorithm is applied, and the path of movement of test data is estimated by applying a correction algorithm to estimate only routes that can be reached from the most recently estimated location. The estimation results verified the accuracy by comparing the true paths in indoor space with those estimated by the proposed method and achieved approximately 90.8% and 81.4% accuracy in two experimental spaces, respectively.

WiFi Fingerprinting기술의 측위 정확도에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요인은 수신되는 신호세기(RSS)의 안정성이다. 하지만 실내 환경의 높은 복잡도로 인해 같은 위치에서도 RSS가 시간에 따라 변화하며 불안정하다. 이러한 RSS variance 문제를 해결 하기위한 다양한 연구들이 수행되었다. 하지만 기존 연구들의 경우 시스템의 복잡도가 증가하며, RSS가 급격히 변하는 경우에는 측위 성능을 보장 할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 특수한 구조를 갖는 Neural Network설계하고 이에 최적화된 입력 Feature고안하며 이를 통해 급격한 RSS 변화에서도 성능을 보장하는 WiFi Fingerprinting 알고리즘 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘과 기존 알고리즘을 동일한 조건에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교한 결과 제안하는 알고리즘이 급격한 RSS 변화에서 상대적으로 높은 측위 정확도 보여줌을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The clustering technique using RF fingerprint extracts the characteristic signature of the transmitters which are embedded in the transmission waveforms. The output of the RF-Fingerprint feature extraction algorithm for clustering identical DMR(Digital Mobile Radios) is a high-dimensional feature, typically consisting of 512 or more dimensions. While such high-dimensional features may be effective for the classifiers, they are not suitable to be used as inputs for the clustering algorithms. Therefore, this paper proposes a dimension reduction algorithm that effectively reduces the dimensionality of the multidimensional RF-Fingerprint features while maintaining the fingerprinting characteristics of the DMRs. Additionally, it proposes a clustering algorithm that can effectively cluster the reduced dimensions. The proposed clustering algorithm reduces the multi-dimensional RF-Fingerprint features using t-SNE, based on KL Divergence, and performs clustering using Density Peaks Clustering (DPC). The performance analysis of the DMR clustering algorithm uses a dataset of 3000 samples collected from 10 Motorola XiR and 10 Wintech N-Series DMRs. The results of the RF-Fingerprinting-based clustering algorithm showed the formation of 20 clusters, and all performance metrics including Homogeneity, Completeness, and V-measure, demonstrated a performance of 99.4%.

In this paper, we propose a robust music audio fingerprinting system for automatic music retrieval. The fingerprint feature is extracted from the long-term dynamic modulation spectrum (LDMS) estimation in the perceptual compressed domain. The major advantage of this feature is its significant robustness against severe background noise from the street and cars. Further the fast searching is performed by looking up hash table with 32-bit hash values. The hash value bits are quantized from the logarithmic scale modulation frequency coefficients. Experiments illustrate that the LDMS fingerprint has advantages of high scalability, robustness and small fingerprint size. Moreover, the performance is improved remarkably under the severe recording-noise conditions compared with other power spectrum-based robust fingerprints.

The robustness of audio fingerprinting system in a noisy environment is a principal challenge in the area of content-based audio retrieval. The selected feature for the audio fingerprints must be robust in a noisy environment and the computational complexity of the searching algorithm must be low enough to be executed in real-time. The audio fingerprint proposed by Philips uses expanded hash table lookup to compensate errors introduced by noise. The expanded hash table lookup increases the searching complexity by a factor of 33 times the degree of expansion defined by the hamming distance. We propose a new method to improve noise robustness of audio fingerprinting in noise environment using predominant pitch which reduces the bit error of created hash values. The sub-fingerprint of our approach method is computed in each time frames of audio. The time frame is transformed into the frequency domain using FFT. The obtained audio spectrum is divided into 33 critical bands. Finally, the 32-bit hash value is computed by difference of each bands of energy. And only store bits near predominant pitch. Predominant pitches are extracted in each time frames of audio. The extraction process consists of harmonic enhancement, harmonic summation and selecting a band among critical bands.
