High School Research #00 | Getting Started: idea + some literature review + glossary

## What I want to do

I don't really know. Or, I didn't. Either way, I am looking at something but I'm still not so sure yet.

My current idea comes from some stuff I saw about detecting forgery in scientific publications by searching for duplicate images. After a bit of searching, I decided that for now, it'll just be "near-duplicate image detection", and I might come back to all the scientific publication forgery stuff later.

## A bunch of previous literature \& quick notes

*All these are about detecting near-duplicate image forgery and image splicing. This is just a small part of it and definitely not all, but that's for today. I'm a bit too lazy to get this organized any better XD*

*I marked "useful" on the surveys because they're generally a faster way to get to know about the big picture.*
