Image Based Captcha

Image Based CAPTCHA

• Image-based CAPTCHA is usually considered as the most advanced and
safest type of CAPTCHA. It requires from the users to find out and point
to a desired image from a list of images. Because it is based on image
details, it represents for the bot an extremely difficult task to be solved.
• the image-based CAPTCHA is one of the most widespread types of
CAPTCHA using aspects of image processing and computer vision for
designing the test.
Image Based CAPTCHA
• Different types of image-based CAPTCHA are available on the web,
proposing multiple tasks in the image processing and computer vision
fields.
• A first type of such CAPTCHA is the Animals in the wild CAPTCHA. In
this test, an image collection is presented to the user, who is asked to
recognize the image depicting an animal in the wild.
• A second type of image-based CAPTCHA is the House number
CAPTCHA. It is characterized by a collection of images showing a set of
numbers or a single number located in a different context, with a complex
background or distorted. The user is asked to recognize the image
reporting a house number.
Image Based CAPTCHA
• As an extension to image-based CAPTCHA, the Face DCAPTCHA is
used. It is a CAPTCHA that incorporates the elements of a face detection.
It is one of the newest CAPTCHA types that includes a high level of
security. It exploits a research about the human brain, which is very
effective in the process of natural face segmentation in spite of used
complex backgrounds.
• Another example is the Worried face CAPTCHA, where the user is asked
to choose the image reporting a worried face among a set of images
showing different human faces of different state of mind. Also, in the
Surprised face CAPTCHA the user has the aim to recognize a surprised
face and select the correct image in an image collection of human faces.

• The Animated character CAPTCHA is another type of image-based
CAPTCHA. It is characterized by an image collection of human poses and
faces, where one image depicts an animated character. The user is asked to
select the image showing the animated character in the image collection.
Image Based CAPTCHA
• In 2009 Google Inc. introduced theWhat’s Up CAPTCHA, which is based on the
• identification of the image’s upright orientation [10]. It is composed of a set of images
• which are visualized as randomly rotated to the user. The test asks the user to adjust
• the randomly rotated images to their upright position. It is based on the principle that
• rotating an image to its upright position is a difficult task for the bots while it can
• obtain a success rate up to 90% for the humans. Experiments demonstrated that users
• prefer to rotate the images instead of deciphering the text. This is particularly useful
• in mobile environments, where the rotation can be easily achieved by the touch of
• the screen.
Image Based CAPTCHA
• The AgeCAPTCHA was proposed by Kim et al. [11]. Its aim is to categorize a set
• of test images which depict human faces into one of the eight age categories. Firstly,
• a panel is presented to the user, containing a randomly selected test image and a set
• of labels identifying the age categories. The user is asked to select the appropriate
• age category for the test image. If the user provides the correct answer, then the test is
• continued by presenting further test images to be categorized by the user. Otherwise,
• a new set of test images is selected and the test is started from the beginning.
• The test is completed when all the test images are correctly categorized by the
• user. According to the answers of the user, each test image is annotated with one of
• the eight age categories.
Video Audio Based CAPTCHA
• Video and audio-based CAPTCHAs refer to the auditory reproducible
characters
• that the user has to input. Although this type of CAPTCHA is typically
attacked in approximately 70% of cases, its development and innovation
are essential for the
• blind users.
