Trusted Image Dissemination and Security

Projects

Below is a list of the projects that lay within trusted image dissemination and security research.

TID Trusted Image Dissemination Our approach will provide an innovative capability based on experience with image database and with protecting the privacy of information in medical databases.

WIPE Wavelet Image Pornography Elimination / Detection The Wavelet Image Pornography Elimination (WIPE) filter tells the user the level of indication that an image is objectionable. The results are based on the image's pixels. Click here for more on WIPE

There are many security issues on the Internet - many of which deal with digital images. The projects in this section involve trusted image dissemination and security, and have impacts on a wide array of areas. The Trusted Image Dissemination project protects medical patient's private information by removing it from the images. Our Imagination project aims at studying picture based CAPTCHAs (Completly Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart). This work impacts the safety of Websites that use forms that may come under attack from mass-scale registration systems. Finally, the Wavelet Image Pornography Elimination / Detection project informs the user of the level of indication that an image is objectionable. This provides the user with the ability to be informed of the image's content without having to view it first. Overall, these projects studies the relationships among digital images online, users, and technologies.

Project Directors

This research project is being conducted at the Pennsylvania State University by Prof. James Z. Wang, Prof. Jia Li, and their students.

Project Background

This research project, started when James Wang was with Stanford in 1997, aims at advancing technologies related to the filtering of images.
