AAU-Net: Attention-Based Asymmetric U-Net for Subject-Sensitive Hashing of Remote Sensing Images

The prerequisite for the use of remote sensing images is that their security must be guaranteed. As a special subset of perceptual hashing, subject-sensitive hashing overcomes the shortcomings of the existing perceptual hashing that cannot distinguish between “subject-related tampering” and “subject...

description The prerequisite for the use of remote sensing images is that their security must be guaranteed. As a special subset of perceptual hashing, subject-sensitive hashing overcomes the shortcomings of the existing perceptual hashing that cannot distinguish between “subject-related tampering” and “subject-unrelated tampering” of remote sensing images. However, the existing subject-sensitive hashing still has a large deficiency in robustness. In this paper, we propose a novel attention-based asymmetric U-Net (AAU-Net) for the subject-sensitive hashing of remote sensing (RS) images. Our AAU-Net demonstrates obvious asymmetric structure characteristics, which is important to improve the robustness of features by combining the attention mechanism and the characteristics of subject-sensitive hashing. On the basis of AAU-Net, a subject-sensitive hashing algorithm is developed to integrate the features of various bands of RS images. Our experimental results show that our AAU-Net-based subject-sensitive hashing algorithm is more robust than the existing deep learning models such as Attention U-Net and MUM-Net, and its tampering sensitivity remains at the same level as that of Attention U-Net and MUM-Net.
