The aim of this paper is to improve the accuracy of copy-move forgery detection (CMFD) in image forensics by proposing a novel scheme. The proposed scheme integrates both block-based and keypoint-based forgery detection methods. Firstly, speed-up robust feature (SURF) descriptor in log-polar space and scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) descriptor are extracted from an entire forged image. Secondly, generalized 2 nearest neighbor (g2NN) is employed to get massive matched pairs. Then, random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is employed to filter out mismatched pairs, thus allowing rough localization of the counterfeit areas. To present more accurately these forgery areas more accurately, we propose an efficient and accurate algorithm, evolving circular domains coverage (ECDC), to cover present them. This algorithm aims to find satisfactory threshold areas by extracting block features from jointly evolving circular domains, which are centered on the matched pairs. Finally, morphological operation is applied to refine the detected forgery areas. The experimental results indicate that the proposed CMFD scheme can achieve better detection performance under various attacks compared with other state-of-the-art CMFD schemes.
In this paper, a copy-move forgery detection method based on Convolutional Kernel Network is proposed. Different from methods based on conventional hand-crafted features, Convolutional Kernel Network is a kind of data-driven local descriptor with the deep convolutional structure. Thanks to the development of deep learning theories and widely available datasets, the data-driven methods can achieve competitive performance on different conditions for its excellent discriminative capability. Besides, our Convolutional Kernel Network is reformulated as a series of matrix computations and convolutional operations which are easy to parallelize and accelerate by GPU, leading to high efficiency. Then, appropriate preprocessing and postprocessing for Convolutional Kernel Network are adopted to achieve copy-move forgery detection. Particularly, a segmentation-based keypoints distribution strategy is proposed and a GPU-based adaptive oversegmentation method is adopted. Numerous experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the GPU version of Convolutional Kernel Network, and the state-of-the-art performance of the proposed copy-move forgery detection method based on Convolutional Kernel Network.
Copy move forgery detection in digital images has become a very popular research topic in the area of image forensics. Due to the availability of sophisticated image editing tools and ever increasing hardware capabilities, it has become an easy task to manipulate the digital images. Passive forgery detection techniques are more relevant as they can be applied without the prior information about the image in question. Block based techniques are used to detect copy move forgery, but have limitations of large time complexity and sensitivity against affine operations like rotation and scaling. Keypoint based approaches are used to detect forgery in large images where the possibility of significant post processing operations like rotation and scaling is more. A hybrid approach is proposed using different methods for keypoint detection and description. Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) are used to detect the keypoints in the image and Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Keypoints (BRISK) features are used to describe features at these keypoints. The proposed method has performed better than the existing forgery detection method using SURF significantly in terms of detection speed and is invariant to post processing operations like rotation and scaling. The proposed method is also invariant to other commonly applied post processing operations like adding Gaussian noise and JPEG compression
Copy-move forgery detection identifies a tampered image by detecting pasted and source regions in the same image. In this paper, we propose a novel two-stage framework specially for copy-move forgery detection. The first stage is a backbone self deep matching network, and the second stage is named as Proposal SuperGlue. In the first stage, atrous convolution and skip matching are incorporated to enrich spatial information and leverage hierarchical features. Spatial attention is built on self-correlation to reinforce the ability to find appearance similar regions. In the second stage, Proposal SuperGlue is proposed to remove false-alarmed regions and remedy incomplete regions. Specifically, a proposal selection strategy is designed to enclose highly suspected regions based on proposal generation and backbone score maps. Then, pairwise matching is conducted among candidate proposals by deep learning based keypoint extraction and matching, i.e., SuperPoint and SuperGlue. Integrated score map generation and refinement methods are designed to integrate results of both stages and obtain optimized results. Our two-stage framework unifies end-to-end deep matching and keypoint matching by obtaining highly suspected proposals, and opens a new gate for deep learning research in copy-move forgery detection. Experiments on publicly available datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our two-stage framework.
Image forgery detection is the task of detecting and localizing forged parts in tampered images. Previous works mostly focus on high resolution images using traces of resampling features, demosaicing features or sharpness of edges. However, a good detection method should also be applicable to low resolution images because compressed or resized images are common these days. To this end, we propose a Shallow Convolutional Neural Network(SCNN), capable of distinguishing the boundaries of forged regions from original edges in low resolution images. SCNN is designed to utilize the information of chroma and saturation. Based on SCNN, two approaches that are named Sliding Windows Detection (SWD) and Fast SCNN, respectively, are developed to detect and localize image forgery region. In this paper, we substantiate that Fast SCNN can detect drastic change of chroma and saturation. In image forgery detection experiments Our model is evaluated on the CASIA 2.0 dataset. The results show that Fast SCNN performs well on low resolution images and achieves significant improvements over the state-of-the-art.
In this paper, we propose to utilize Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and the segmentation-based multi-scale analysis to locate tampered areas in digital images. First, to deal with color input sliding windows of different scales, a unified CNN architecture is designed. Then, we elaborately design the training procedures of CNNs on sampled training patches. With a set of robust multi-scale tampering detectors based on CNNs, complementary tampering possibility maps can be generated. Last but not least, a segmentation-based method is proposed to fuse the maps and generate the final decision map. By exploiting the benefits of both the small-scale and large-scale analyses, the segmentation-based multi-scale analysis can lead to a performance leap in forgery localization of CNNs. Numerous experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our method.
