Abstract

In this paper, we propose a robust image hash algorithm by using the invariance of the image histogram shape to geometric deformations. Robustness and uniqueness of the proposed hash function are investigated in detail by representing the histogram shape as the relative relations in the number of pixels among groups of two different bins. It is found from extensive testing that the histogram-based hash function has a satisfactory performance to various geometric deformations, and is also robust to most common signal processing operations thanks to the use of Gaussian kernel low-pass filter in the preprocessing phase.
