Determination of the Optimal Threshold Value and Number of Keypoints in Scale Invariant Feature Transform-based Copy-Move Forgery Detection
The copy-move forgery detection (CMFD) begins with the preprocessing until the image is ready to process. Then, the image features are extracted using a feature-transform-based extraction called the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT). The last step is features matching using Generalized 2 Nearest-Neighbor (G2NN) method with threshold values variation. The problem is what is the optimal threshold value and number of keypoints so that copy-move detection has the highest accuracy. The optimal threshold value and number of keypoints had determined so that the detection has the highest accuracy. The research was carried out on images without noise and with Gaussian noise
An Evaluation of Popular Copy-Move Forgery Detection Approaches
A copy-move forgery is created by copying and pasting content within the same
image, and potentially post-processing it. In recent years, the detection of
copy-move forgeries has become one of the most actively researched topics in
blind image forensics. A considerable number of different algorithms have been
proposed focusing on different types of postprocessed copies. In this paper, we
aim to answer which copy-move forgery detection algorithms and processing steps
(e.g., matching, filtering, outlier detection, affine transformation
estimation) perform best in various postprocessing scenarios. The focus of our
analysis is to evaluate the performance of previously proposed feature sets. We
achieve this by casting existing algorithms in a common pipeline. In this
paper, we examined the 15 most prominent feature sets. We analyzed the
detection performance on a per-image basis and on a per-pixel basis. We created
a challenging real-world copy-move dataset, and a software framework for
systematic image manipulation. Experiments show, that the keypoint-based
features SIFT and SURF, as well as the block-based DCT, DWT, KPCA, PCA and
Zernike features perform very well. These feature sets exhibit the best
robustness against various noise sources and downsampling, while reliably
identifying the copied regions.Comment: Main paper: 14 pages, supplemental material: 12 pages, main paper

Copy-move forgery detection using convolutional neural network and K-mean clustering
Copying and pasting a patch of an image to hide or exaggerate something in a digital image is known as a copy-move forgery. Copy-move forgery detection (CMFD) is hard to detect because the copied part image from a scene has similar properties with the other parts of the image in terms of texture, light illumination, and objective. The CMFD is still a challenging issue in some attacks such as rotation, scaling, blurring, and noise. In this paper, an approach using the convolutional neural network (CNN) and k-mean clustering is for CMFD. To identify cloned parts candidates, a patch of an image is extracted using corner detection. Next, similar patches are detected using a pre-trained network inspired by the Siamese network. If two similar patches are not evidence of the CMFD, the post-process is performed using k-means clustering. Experimental analyses are done on MICC-F2000, MICC-F600, and MICC-F8 databases. The results showed that using the proposed algorithm we can receive a 94.13% and 96.98% precision and F1 score, respectively, which are the highest among all state-of-the-art algorithms

CoMoFoD #x2014; New database for copy-move forgery detection
Due to the availability of many sophisticated image processing tools, a digital image forgery is nowadays very often used. One of the common forgery method is a copy-move forgery, where part of an image is copied to another location in the same image with the aim of hiding or adding some image content. Numerous algorithms have been proposed for a copy-move forgery detection (CMFD), but there exist only few benchmarking databases for algorithms evaluation. We developed new database for a CMFD that consist of 260 forged image sets. Every image set includes forged image, two masks and original image. Images are grouped in 5 categories according to applied manipulation: translation, rotation, scaling, combination and distortion. Also, postprocessing methods, such as JPEG compression, blurring, noise adding, color reduction etc., are applied at all forged and original images. In this paper we present database organization and content, creation of forged images, postprocessing methods, and database testing. CoMoFoD database is available at http://www.vcl.fer.hr/comofodMinistry of Science, Education and Sport, China; project numbers: 036-0361630-1635 and 036-0361630-164
Methodology for Evidence Reconstruction in Digital Image Forensics
This paper reveals basics of Digital (Image) Forensics. The paper describes the ways to manipulate image, namely, copy-move forgery (copy region in image & paste into another region in same image), image splicing (copy region in image & paste into another image) and image retouching. The paper mainly focuses on copy move forgery detection methods that are classified mainly into two broad approaches- block-based and key-point. Methodology (generalized as well as approach specific) of copy move forgery detection is presented in detail. Copied region is not directly pasted but manipulated (scale, rotation, adding Gaussian noise or combining these transformations) before pasting. The method for detection should robust to these transformations. The paper also presents methodology for reconstruction (if possible) of forged image based on detection result.

Comparative Analysis of Techniques Used to Detect Copy-Move Tampering for Real-World Electronic Images
Evolution of high computational powerful computers, easy availability of several innovative editing software package and high-definition quality-based image capturing tools follows to effortless result in producing image forgery. Though, threats for security and misinterpretation of digital images and scenes have been observed to be happened since a long period and also a lot of research has been established in developing diverse techniques to authenticate the digital images. On the contrary, the research in this region is not limited to checking the validity of digital photos but also to exploring the specific signs of distortion or forgery. This analysis would not require additional prior information of intrinsic content of corresponding digital image or prior embedding of watermarks.
