• Abstract: Performance of the sensor-based camera identification (SCI) method heavily relies on the denoising filter in estimating Photo-Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU). Given various attempts on enhancing the quality of the extracted PRNU, it still suffers from unsatisfactory performance in low-resolution images and high computational demand. Leveraging the similarity of PRNU estimation and image denoising, we take advantage of the latest achievements of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based denoisers for PRNU extraction. In this paper, a comparative evaluation of such CNN denoisers on SCI performance is carried out on the public "Dresden Image Database". Our findings are two-fold. From one aspect, both the PRNU extraction and image denoising separate noise from the image content. Hence, SCI can benefit from the recent CNN denoisers if carefully trained. From another aspect, the goals and the scenarios of PRNU extraction and image denoising are different since one optimizes the quality of noise and the other optimizes the image quality. A carefully tailored training is needed when CNN denoisers are used for PRNU estimation. Alternative strategies of training data preparation and loss function design are analyzed theoretically and evaluated experimentally. We point out that feeding the CNNs with image-PRNU pairs and training them with correlation-based loss function result in the best PRNU estimation performance. To facilitate further studies of SCI, we also propose a minimum-loss camera fingerprint quantization scheme using which we save the fingerprints as image files in PNG format. Furthermore, we make the quantized fingerprints of the cameras from the "Dresden Image Database" publicly available.

  We introduce the Deep Semantic Statistics Matching (D2SM) Denoising Network. It exploits semantic features of pretrained classification networks, then it implicitly matches the probabilistic distribution of clear images at the semantic feature space. By learning to preserve the semantic distribution of denoised images, we empirically find our method significantly improves the denoising capabilities of networks.
