One challenge for engineered cyber physical systems (CPSs) is the possibility for a malicious intruder to change the data transmitted across the cyber channel as a means to degrade the performance of the physical system. In this paper, we consider a data injection attack on a cyber physical system. We propose a hybrid framework for detecting the presence of an attack and operating the plant in spite of the attack. Our method uses an observer-based detection mechanism and a passivity balance defense framework in the hybrid architecture. By switching the controller, passivity and exponential stability are established under the proposed framework.

This paper describes a video fingerprinting system that is highly robust to audio and video transformations. The proposed system adapts a robust audio fingerprint extraction approach to video fingerprinting. The audio fingerprinting system converts the spectrogram into binary images, and then encodes the positions of salient regions selected from each binary image. Visual features are extracted in a similar way from the video images. We propose two visual fingerprint generation methods where fingerprints encode the positions of salient regions of greyscale video images. Salient regions of the first method are selected based on the intensity values of the image, while the second method identifies the regions that represent the highest variations between two successive images. The similarity between two fingerprints is defined as the intersection between their elements. The search algorithm is speeded up by an efficient implementation on a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). We evaluate the performance of the proposed video system on TRECVID 2009 and 2010 datasets, and we show that this system achieves promising results and outperforms other state-of-the-art video copy detection methods for queries that do not includes geometric transformations. In addition, we show the effectiveness of this system for a challenging audio+video copy detection task.
