Two sequential camera source identification methods are proposed. Sequential tests implement a log-likelihood ratio test in an incremental way, thus enabling a reliable decision with a minimal number of observations. One of our methods adapts Goljan et al.'s to sequential operation. The second, which offers better performance in terms of error probabilities and average number of test observations, is based on treating the alternative hypothesis as a doubly stochastic model. We also discuss how the standard sequential test can be corrected to account for the event of weak fingerprints. Finally, we validate the goodness of our methods with experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
