title: Medical image integrity control seeking into the detail of the tampering.
abstract: In this paper, we propose a system which aims at verifying integrity of medical images. It not only detects and localizes alterations, but also seeks into the details of the image modification to understand what occurred. For that latter purpose, we developed an image signature which allows our system to approximate modifications by a simple model, a door function of similar dimensions. This signature is partly based on a linear combination of the DCT coefficients of pixel blocks. Protection data is attached to the image by watermarking. Whence, image integrity verification is conducted by comparing this embedded data to the recomputed one from the observed image. Experimental results with malicious image modification illustrate the overall performances of our system.
