• Title: Fusing Multiscale Texture and Residual Descriptors for Multilevel 2D Barcode Rebroadcasting Detection
• Abstract summary: In applications related to product authentication, an authentic 2D barcode can be illegally copied and attached to a counterfeited product in such a way to bypass the authentication scheme. We employ a proprietary 2D barcode pattern and use multimedia forensics methods to analyse the scanning and printing artefacts resulting from the copy (rebroadcasting) attack. A diverse and complementary feature set is proposed to quantify the barcode texture distortions introduced during the illegal copying process.

• Abstract: Nowadays, 2D barcodes have been widely used for advertisement, mobile payment, and product authentication. However, in applications related to product authentication, an authentic 2D barcode can be illegally copied and attached to a counterfeited product in such a way to bypass the authentication scheme. In this paper, we employ a proprietary 2D barcode pattern and use multimedia forensics methods to analyse the scanning and printing artefacts resulting from the copy (rebroadcasting) attack. A diverse and complementary feature set is proposed to quantify the barcode texture distortions introduced during the illegal copying process. The proposed features are composed of global and local descriptors, which characterize the multi-scale texture appearance and the points of interest distribution, respectively. The proposed descriptors are compared against some existing texture descriptors and deep learning-based approaches under various scenarios, such as cross-datasets and cross-size. Experimental results highlight the practicality of the proposed method in real-world settings.

  Region-Aware Prompt Augmentation (RAPTA) and Attention-Driven Multimodal Copy Detection (ADMCD) are presented.<n>RAPTA uses an object detector to find salient regions and turn them into semantically grounded prompt variants.<n>ADMCD aggregates local patch, global semantic, and texture cues with a lightweight transformer to produce a fused representation.<n>Experiments show that RAPTA reduces overfitting while maintaining high synthesis quality, and that ADMCD reliably detects copying, outperforming single-modal metrics.

The second scheme is first to calculate the variance of the raw signal and the covariance between the recovered signal and the raw signal.
