Robust Image Hashing Scheme Based on Low-Rank Decomposition and Path Integral LBP

This paper presents a robust image hashing algorithm that exploits low-rank decomposition and path integral local binary pattern (pi-LBP), referred to LRPL hashing. The proposed algorithm generates a compact binary sequence from a low-rank component of the normalized image as the hash code. Considering the excellent texture structure description ability of pi-LBP features, the new hashing algorithm extracts a feature vector from a low-rank feature matrix with pi-LBP. The pi-LBP feature vector is then encrypted by using the logistic map to produce the final hash sequence. The Hamming distance between the hash sequences is employed to authenticate the tested image. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed LRPL hashing method has better robustness and discrimination compared with existing hashing algorithms.
