Image Retrieval is an application of computer vision that deals with searching images in large databases. Conventional methods utilize the entire image to perform the image retrieval task rather than considering specific features. The embodiments herein provide a method and system for feature based image retrieval. Initially, the system receives an input image and a query label. Further, a feature specific encoder is selected from a plurality of feature specific encoders based on the query label. A first set of feature vectors are computed from the input image using the selected feature specific encoder. Further, a Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) value is computed from the first set of feature vectors. Finally, a plurality of matching images is obtained from a plurality database images based on a comparison between the computed feature specific LSH value and a plurality of feature specific LSH values stored in a feature specific LSH database.

The disclosure herein generally relates to the field of privacy preserving in an application, and, more particularly, to enabling privacy in an application using fully homomorphic encryption. The disclosure more specifically refers to enabling a most optimal FHE for privacy preserving for the application based on a set of constraints using a disclosed set of optimization tasks. The set of optimization tasks comprise a multi objective-multi constraint optimization task and a single objective-multi constraint optimization task, that identifies an optimal FHE library, along with an associated FHE functionality and an optimal configuration of the associated FHE functionality based on the set of constraints. The identified FHE library along with the associated FHE functionality and the optimal configuration of the associated FHE functionality facilitate optimal implementation of privacy in the applications.

Performance enhancement of face verification systems is credited due to advancement in deep learning methods. However, these systems fail to provide interpretations for decision makings despite their ability to attain high accuracy. Various post-hoc methods have been proposed due to increased demand of deep learning models for better interpretations. However, face verification systems are still prone to adversarial attacks. Present disclosure provides a face verification system and method which addresses the issue of interpretability by employing modular neural network(s), wherein representations for each individual facial feature such as nose, mouth, eyes, etc., are learned separately and verification of input face images is performed. Through experiments, present disclosure demonstrates that the method described herein is resistant to adversarial attacks, thereby addressing another crucial weakness concerning deep learning models.

Biometric templates (template) are used to store biometric data of one or more users. As biometric data of each user is unique and non-replaceable, template security is a major concern. This disclosure relates generally to template protection, and more particularly to a method and system for biometric template protection. The system generates a final perturbation value for data in the template, based on a first binary code (BC), a second binary code (BC'), feature vectors corresponding to data in the template, and an initial random perturbation. The final perturbation and the feature vectors are mapped to the first binary code. The first binary code represents the template. Every time the first binary code is compromised, the value of first binary code is updated, and the whole process is repeated to generate corresponding final perturbation and then the mapping is done.

Systems and methods for insertion of a watermark into images and tampering detection of the watermarked images by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technique. The traditional systems and methods provide for detecting the tampering of the watermarked images by simply identifying a presence of an inserted watermark into an image but none them provide for inserting a random sequence into input image(s) and then detect the tampering by classifying the input image(s) by a neural network. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for insertion of the watermark into the input image(s) and tampering detection of the watermarked images by training a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)to classify the images as tampered or non-tampered, extracting random noise, obtaining non-classified watermarked images from the random noise, and obtaining, from the non-classified watermarked images, classified watermarked images and detecting an absence or a presence of the tampering based upon the classified watermarked images.

System and method for cheque image data masking are disclosed. In an example, a cheque image and a data file are received, the data file includes data records with values corresponding to sensitive data fields in the cheque image. Further, a template cheque image matching to the cheque image and redacted information associated with the template cheque image are obtained. Furthermore, a blank image snippet is generated for each sensitive data field in the cheque image based on a part of the obtained information about sensitive fields. Moreover, values corresponding to each sensitive field from the input data file are written to the blank image snippet based on the remaining information about sensitive fields. Also, the template cheque image is updated with the image snippet. Data of non-sensitive fields in the cheque image is then copied to the template cheque image, thereby facilitating cheque image data masking.

System and method for text localization in images are disclosed. In an embodiment, a line and graphic eliminated image is received. Further, horizontal projection is performed on rows of the image to obtain a first flag vector, the flag vector indicates whether there is text in each row. Furthermore, a number of run-lengths of consecutive 1's and 0's is computed in the first flag vector. Moreover, text lines is extracted in the image based on the computed number of run-lengths of consecutive 1's and 0's in the first flag vector. Also, vertical projection is performed on the text lines to obtain a second flag vector for the text lines. Further, a number of run-lengths of consecutive 1's and 0's is computed in the second flag vectors. Furthermore, text is localized in the image based on the computed number of run-lengths of consecutive 1's and 0's in the second flag vectors.
