    A PatchMatch-based Dense-field Algorithm for Video Copy-Move Detection and Localization

    Full text link
    We propose a new algorithm for the reliable detection and localization of video copy-move forgeries. Discovering well crafted video copy-moves may be very difficult, especially when some uniform background is copied to occlude foreground objects. To reliably detect both additive and occlusive copy-moves we use a dense-field approach, with invariant features that guarantee robustness to several post-processing operations. To limit complexity, a suitable video-oriented version of PatchMatch is used, with a multiresolution search strategy, and a focus on volumes of interest. Performance assessment relies on a new dataset, designed ad hoc, with realistic copy-moves and a wide variety of challenging situations. Experimental results show the proposed method to detect and localize video copy-moves with good accuracy even in adverse conditions

    An Evaluation of Popular Copy-Move Forgery Detection Approaches

    Full text link
    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 appeared in IEEE Transaction on Information Forensics and Securit

    Content Based Image Retrieval System Using NOHIS-tree

    Full text link
    Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been one of the most important research areas in computer vision. It is a widely used method for searching images in huge databases. In this paper we present a CBIR system called NOHIS-Search. The system is based on the indexing technique NOHIS-tree. The two phases of the system are described and the performance of the system is illustrated with the image database ImagEval. NOHIS-Search system was compared to other two CBIR systems; the first that using PDDP indexing algorithm and the second system is that using the sequential search. Results show that NOHIS-Search system outperforms the two other systems.Comment: 6 pages, 10th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia (MoMM2012

    Fast Computation of Sliding Discrete Tchebichef Moments and Its Application in Duplicated Regions Detection

    No full text
    International audienceComputational load remains a major concern when processing signals by means of sliding transforms. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for the fast computation of one-dimensional and two-dimensional sliding discrete Tchebichef moments. To do so, we first establish the relationships that exist between the Tchebichef moments of two neighboring windows taking advantage of Tchebichef polynomials’ properties. We then propose an original way to fast compute the moments of one window by utilizing the moment values of its previous window. We further theoretically establish the complexity of our fast algorithm and illustrate its interest within the framework of digital forensics and more precisely the detection of duplicated regions in an audio signal or an image. Our algorithm is used to extract local features of such a signal tampering. Experimental results show that its complexity is independent of the window size, validating the theory. They also exhibit that our algorithm is suitable to digital forensics and beyond to any applications based on sliding Tchebichef moments
