Although the keypoint-based methods have the advantages of strong robustness and low computational cost,they cannot identify the flat duplicated regions without reliable extracted features. In this paper, we propose a new CMFD method by using speeded-up robust feature(SURF)in the opponent color space. Our method starts by converting the inspected image from RGB to the opponent color space. The color gradient per pixel is calculated and taken as the work space for SURF to extract the keypoints. The matched keypoints are clustered and their geometric transformations are estimated. Finally, the false matches are removed. Experimental results show that the proposed technique can effectively expose the duplicated regions with various transformations, even when the duplication regions are flat.展开更多

A very simple and efficient method for accomplishing the task is proposed. Firstly, the probabilistic model with periodic effects in double quantization is analyzed, and the probability of quantized DCT coefficients in each block is calculated over the entire iraage. Secondly, the posteriori probability of each block is computed according to Bayesian theory and the results mentioned in first part. Then the mean and variance of the posteriori probability are to be used for judging whether the target block is tampered. Finally, the mathematical morphology operations are performed to reduce the false alarm probability. Experimental results show that the method can exactly locate the doctored part, and through the experiment it is also found that for detecting the tampered regions, the higher the second compression quality is, the more exact the detection efficiency is.展开更多

We generate, transmit and store millions of images every second.Most of these images are insignificant images containing only personal information.However, in many fields such as banking, finance, public institutions,and educational institutions, the images of many valuable objects like IDcards, photographs, credit cards, and transaction receipts are stored andtransmitted to the digital environment. These images are very significantand must be secured. A valuable image can be maliciously modified by anattacker. The modification of an image is sometimes imperceptible even by theperson who stored the image. In this paper, an active image forgery detectionmethod that encodes and decodes image edge information is proposed. Theproposed method is implemented by designing an interface and applied on atest image which is frequently used in the literature. Various tampering attacksare simulated to test the fidelity of the method. The method not only notifieswhether the image is forged or not but also marks the tampered region ofthe image. Also, the proposed method successfully detected tampered regionsafter geometric attacks, even on self-copy attacks. Also, it didn’t fail on JPEGcompression.展开更多

In general, the image forgery technologies often utilizes the scaling, rotation or skewing operations to tamper some regions in the image, in which the resampling and interpolation processes are often demanded. By observing the detectable periodic distribution properties generated from the resampling and interpolation processes, we propose a novel method based on the intrinsic properties of resampling scheme to detect the tampered regions. The proposed method applies the pre-calculated resampling weighting table to detect the periodic properties of prediction error distribution. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional methods in terms of efficiency and accuracy.展开更多

文摘With the advent of the 5G Internet of Things era,communication and social interaction in our daily life have changed a lot,and a large amount of social data is transmitted to the Internet.At the same time,with the rapid development of deep forgery technology,a new generation of social data trust crisis has also followed.Therefore,how to ensure the trust and credibility of social data in the 5G Internet of Things era is an urgent problem to be solved.This paper proposes a new method for forgery detection based on GANs.We first discover the hidden gradient information in the grayscale image of the forged image and use this gradient information to guide the generation of forged traces.In the classifier,we replace the traditional binary loss with the focal loss that can focus on difficult-to-classify samples,which can achieve accurate classification when the real and fake samples are unbalanced.Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve high accuracy on the DeeperForensics dataset and with the highest accuracy is 98%.

文摘In recent years,there has been a backlash of sorts and the authenticity of images has been routinely questioned.Seeing is no longer believing.There is an urgent need for robust image forensic techniques to expose photo forgery.This paper proposed a novel and effective technique to expose image forgery using inconsistent reflection.More specifically,a new technique was presented to calculate reflection line midpoint,the definition of midpoint ratio was given,and three standards were proposed and employed to detect image forgery.Accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed technique were evaluated using a data set consisting of 200 authentic and forged images.Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can detect image forgery with very high success rate.
文摘The extensive availability of advanced digital image technologies and image editing tools has simplified the way of manipulating the image content.An effective technique for tampering the identification is the copy-move forgery.Conventional image processing techniques generally search for the patterns linked to the fake content and restrict the usage in massive data classification.Contrast-ingly,deep learning(DL)models have demonstrated significant performance over the other statistical techniques.With this motivation,this paper presents an Optimal Deep Transfer Learning based Copy Move Forgery Detection(ODTL-CMFD)technique.The presented ODTL-CMFD technique aims to derive a DL model for the classification of target images into the original and the forged/tampered,and then localize the copy moved regions.To perform the feature extraction process,the political optimizer(PO)with Mobile Networks(MobileNet)model has been derived for generating a set of useful vectors.Finally,an enhanced bird swarm algorithm(EBSA)with least square support vector machine(LS-SVM)model has been employed for classifying the digital images into the original or the forged ones.The utilization of the EBSA algorithm helps to properly modify the parameters contained in the Multiclass Support Vector Machine(MSVM)technique and thereby enhance the classification performance.For ensuring the enhanced performance of the ODTL-CMFD technique,a series of simulations have been performed against the benchmark MICC-F220,MICC-F2000,and MICC-F600 datasets.The experimental results have demonstrated the improvised performance of the ODTL-CMFD approach over the other techniques in terms of several evaluation measures.
文摘Recently, digital images have become the most used data, thanks tohigh internet speed and high resolution, cheap and easily accessible digitalcameras. We generate, transmit and store millions of images every second.Most of these images are insignificant images containing only personal information.However, in many fields such as banking, finance, public institutions,and educational institutions, the images of many valuable objects like IDcards, photographs, credit cards, and transaction receipts are stored andtransmitted to the digital environment. These images are very significantand must be secured. A valuable image can be maliciously modified by anattacker. The modification of an image is sometimes imperceptible even by theperson who stored the image. In this paper, an active image forgery detectionmethod that encodes and decodes image edge information is proposed. Theproposed method is implemented by designing an interface and applied on atest image which is frequently used in the literature. Various tampering attacksare simulated to test the fidelity of the method. The method not only notifieswhether the image is forged or not but also marks the tampered region ofthe image. Also, the proposed method successfully detected tampered regionsafter geometric attacks, even on self-copy attacks. Also, it didn’t fail on JPEGcompression.
文摘With the rapid progress of the image processing software, the image forgery can leave no visual clues on the tampered regions and make us unable to authenticate the image. In general, the image forgery technologies often utilizes the scaling, rotation or skewing operations to tamper some regions in the image, in which the resampling and interpolation processes are often demanded. By observing the detectable periodic distribution properties generated from the resampling and interpolation processes, we propose a novel method based on the intrinsic properties of resampling scheme to detect the tampered regions. The proposed method applies the pre-calculated resampling weighting table to detect the periodic properties of prediction error distribution. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional methods in terms of efficiency and accuracy.

文摘Deep learning is considered one of the most efficient and reliable methods through which the legitimacy of a digital image can be verified.In the current cyber world where deepfakes have shaken the global community,confirming the legitimacy of a digital image is of great importance.With the advancements made in deep learning techniques,now we can efficiently train and develop state-of-the-art digital image forensic models.The most traditional and widely used method by researchers is convolution neural networks(CNN)for verification of image authenticity but it consumes a considerable number of resources and requires a large dataset for training.Therefore,in this study,a transfer learning based deep learning technique for image forgery detection is proposed.The proposed methodology consists of three modules namely;preprocessing module,convolutional module,and the classification module.By using our proposed technique,the training time is drastically reduced by utilizing the pre-trained weights.The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated by using benchmark datasets,i.e.,BOW and BOSSBase that detect five forensic types which include JPEG compression,contrast enhancement(CE),median filtering(MF),additive Gaussian noise,and resampling.We evaluated the performance of our proposed technique by conducting various experiments and case scenarios and achieved an accuracy of 99.92%.The results show the superiority of the proposed system.
文摘Deep learning related technologies,especially generative adversarial network,are widely used in the fields of face image tampering and forgery.Forensics researchers have proposed a variety of passive forensic and related anti-forensic methods for image tampering and forgery,especially face images,but there is still a lack of overview of anti-forensic methods at this stage.Therefore,this paper will systematically discuss the anti-forensic methods for face image tampering and forgery.Firstly,this paper expounds the relevant background,including the relevant tampering and forgery methods and forensic schemes of face images.The former mainly includes four aspects:conventional processing,fake face generation,face editing and face swapping;The latter is mainly the relevant forensic means based on spatial domain and frequency domain using deep learning technology.Then,this paper divides the existing anti-forensic works into three categories according to their method characteristics,namely hiding operation traces,forgery reconstruction and adversarial attack.Finally,this paper summarizes the limitations and prospects of the existing anti-forensic technologies.
