In previousresearches, there have been various approaches to detecting double JPEGcompression with different quantization matrices. However, the detectionof double JPEG color images with the same quantization matrix is stilla challenging task. An effective detection approach to extract features isproposed in this paper by combining traditional analysis with ConvolutionalNeural Networks (CNN). On the one hand, the number of nonzero pixels andthe sum of pixel values of color space conversion error are provided with 12-dimensional features through experiments. On the other hand, the roundingerror, the truncation error and the quantization coefficient matrix are used togenerate a total of 128-dimensional features via a specially designed CNN. Insuch aCNN, convolutional layers with fixed kernel of 1×1 and Dropout layersare adopted to prevent overfitting of the model, and an average pooling layeris used to extract local characteristics. In this approach, the Support VectorMachine (SVM) classifier is applied to distinguishwhether a given color imageis primarily or secondarily compressed. The approach is also suitable for thecase when customized needs are considered. The experimental results showthat the proposed approach is more effective than some existing ones whenthe compression quality factors are low.展开更多

Herein, we report a simple approach to effectively maintain the morphology of Li-metal anode and enhance the cycling performance of Li batteries by surface coating of a porous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thin film. In symmetrical cells testing, the cells with the Li@PVDF electrode display stable cycling performance more than 1300 h (650 cycles) at the current density of 0.5 mA/cm^2 with a stripping/plating capacity of 0.5 mAh/cm^2. The results with full cells employing Li@PVDF anode and LiFePO_4 cathode show a good cycling ability with a capacity retention of 80.0% after 500 cycles at 4 C and an excellent rate capability with a high capacity of 78.4 mAh/g even at a high rate of 10 C.展开更多
