Addressing Data Limitations with Augmentation
Context: Given the relatively limited number of original samples per printer brand, direct training could lead to overfitting and class imbalance. Our approach leverages a comprehensive suite of data augmentation techniques to mitigate these risks.
Solution: We employed flipping, rotation, translation, blurring, brightness/contrast adjustments, and Gaussian/salt-and-pepper noises. This process expanded our dataset to 4,444 images, significantly enhancing the model’s generalization capabilities and robustness.
Impact: The augmented dataset, split 8:2 for training/testing, enabled the model to achieve high accuracy despite initial data scarcity, ensuring effective learning of diverse CPS encoding patterns.
7.36%
Accuracy Improvement (ODConv + CA)
The combined effect of ODConv and CoordAttention mechanisms led to a significant 7.36% increase in overall recognition accuracy compared to the baseline ShuffleNet V2 model, demonstrating the power of targeted architectural enhancements.
| Model | Accuracy (%) | Parameters | FLOPs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline ShuffleNet V2 | 83.82 | 2.28 × 10^6 | 1.52 × 10^8 |
| ShuffleNet V2 + ODConv | 89.82 | 1.81 × 10^6 | 8.01 × 10^7 |
| ShuffleNet V2 + CoordAttention | 86.65 | 2.31 × 10^6 | 1.53 × 10^8 |
| Improved ShuffleNet_OD_CA | 91.18 | 1.82 × 10^6 | 8.03 × 10^7 |
| Xception | 91.18 | 2.08 × 10^7 | 4.60 × 10^9 |
| ResNet50 | 70.81 | 2.55 × 10^7 | 4.13 × 10^9 |
| MobileNetV3_small | 72.40 | 1.52 × 10^6 | 6.12 × 10^7 |
Addressing Inter-Class Misclassification
Context: While achieving high overall accuracy, some misclassification occurred between specific printer brands like Dell, Epson, and HP. This highlights the nuanced challenges in differentiating subtle dot matrix patterns.
Solution: Analysis revealed that key recognition dot matrix patterns could appear consistent under 180-degree rotation, or due to unclear dot matrix display, leading the machine to misrecognize complex patterns (e.g., HP's combined dot matrix).
Impact: Future work will focus on further expanding datasets and refining the model with more brands and models to enhance robustness against these specific inter-class confusions, ensuring even higher forensic utility.
