• Abstract summary: We explore a grid of processing pipelines to study the origins of Cover Source Mismatch (CSM) A set-covering greedy algorithm is used to select representative pipelines minimizing the maximum regret between the representative and the pipelines within the set. Our analysis also shows that parameters as denoising, sharpening, and downsampling are very important to foster diversity.

• Abstract: Within an operational framework, covers used by a steganographer are likely to come from different sensors and different processing pipelines than the ones used by researchers for training their steganalysis models. Thus, a performance gap is unavoidable when it comes to out-of-distributions covers, an extremely frequent scenario called Cover Source Mismatch (CSM). Here, we explore a grid of processing pipelines to study the origins of CSM, to better understand it, and to better tackle it. A set-covering greedy algorithm is used to select representative pipelines minimizing the maximum regret between the representative and the pipelines within the set. Our main contribution is a methodology for generating relevant bases able to tackle operational CSM. Experimental validation highlights that, for a given number of training samples, our set covering selection is a better strategy than selecting random pipelines or using all the available pipelines. Our analysis also shows that parameters as denoising, sharpening, and downsampling are very important to foster diversity. Finally, different benchmarks for classical and wild databases show the good generalization property of the extracted databases.

  In operational scenarios, steganographers use sets of covers from various sensors and processing pipelines that differ significantly from those used by researchers to train steganalysis models. This leads to an inevitable performance gap when dealing with out-of-distribution covers, commonly referred to as Cover Source Mismatch (CSM) In this study, we consider the scenario where test images are processed using the same pipeline. Our objective is to identify a training dataset that allows for maximum generalization to our target.
