Two schemes for fast identification of JPEG coded images are proposed in this paper. The aim is to identify the JPEG images that are generated from the same original image and have equivalent or different compression ratios. Fast identification can be achieved since the schemes work on the quantized Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) domain. It is not required to inverse the quantization and the DCT. Moreover, only a few coefficients are commonly required for identification. The first approach can avoid identification leakage or false negative (FN), and probably result in a few false positives (FP). The second approach can avoid both FN and FP, with a slightly higher processing time. By combining the two schemes, a faster and a more perfect identification can be achieved, in which FN and FP can be avoided.

We propose a method to retrieve similar and duplicate images from a JPEG (Joint Photographic Image Group) image database. Similarity level is decided based on the DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients signs. The method is simple and fast because it uses the DCT coefficients signs as features, which can be obtained directly after partial decoding of JPEG bitstream. The method is robust to JPEG compression, in which similarity level of duplicate images, i.e., images that are compressed from the same original images with different compression ratios, is not disguised due to JPEG compression. Simulation results showed the superiority of the method compared to previous methods in terms of computational complexity and robustness to JPEG compression.
