    With the growing usage of the internet in daily life along with the usage of dominant picture editing software tools in creating forged pictures effortlessly, make us lose trust in the authenticity of the images. For more than a decade, extensive research is going on in the Image forensic area that aims at restoring trustworthiness in images by bringing various tampering detection techniques. In the proposed method, identification of image splicing technique is introduced which depends on the picture texture analysis which characterizes the picture areas by the content of the texture. In this method, an image is characterized by the regions of their texture content. The experimental outcomes describe that the proposed method is effective to identify spliced picture forgery with an accuracy of 79.5%

    As digital images become an indispensable source of information, the authentication of digital images has become crucial. Various techniques of forgery have come into existence, intrusive, and non-intrusive. Image forgery detection hence is becoming more challenging by the day, due to the unwavering advances in image processing. Therefore, image forensics is at the forefront of security applications aiming at restoring trust and acceptance in digital media by exposing counterfeiting methods. The proposed work compares between various feature selection algorithms for the detection of image forgery in tampered images. Several features are extracted from normal and spliced images using spatial grey level dependence method and many more. Support vector machine and Twin SVM has been used for classification. A very difficult problem in classification techniques is to pick features to distinguish between classes. Furthermore, The feature optimization problem is addressed using a genetic algorithm (GA) as a search method. At last, classical sequential methods and floating search algorithm are compared against the genetic approach in terms of the best recognition rate achieved and the optimal number of features

    Internet of Things (IoT) image sensors for surveillance and monitoring, digital cameras, smart phones and social media generate huge volume of digital images every day. Image splicing and copy-move attacks are the most common types of image forgery that can be done very easily using modern photo editing software. Recently, digital forensics has drawn much attention to detect such tampering on images. In this paper, we introduce a novel feature extraction technique, namely Sum of Relevant Inter-Cell Values (SRIV) using which we propose a passive (blind) image forgery detection method based on Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP). First, the input image is divided into non-overlapping blocks and 2D block DCT is applied to capture the changes of a tampered image in the frequency domain. Then LBP operator is applied to enhance the local changes among the neighbouring DCT coefficients, magnifying the changes in high frequency components resulting from splicing and copy-move attacks. The resulting LBP image is again divided into non-overlapping blocks. Finally, SRIV is applied on the LBP image blocks to extract features which are then fed into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to identify forged images from authentic ones. Extensive experiment on four well-known benchmark datasets of tampered images reveal the superiority of our method over recent state-of-the-art methods

    Image sensors are generating limitless digital images every day. Image forgery like splicing and copy-move are very common type of attacks that are easy to execute using sophisticated photo editing tools. As a result, digital forensics has attracted much attention to identify such tampering on digital images. In this paper, a passive (blind) image tampering identification method based on Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) has been proposed. First, the chroma components of an image is divided into fixed sized non-overlapping blocks and 2D block DCT is applied to identify the changes due to forgery in local frequency distribution of the image. Then a texture descriptor, LBP is applied on the magnitude component of the 2D-DCT array to enhance the artifacts introduced by the tampering operation. The resulting LBP image is again divided into non-overlapping blocks. Finally, summations of corresponding inter-cell values of all the LBP blocks are computed and arranged as a feature vector. These features are fed into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Radial Basis Function (RBF) as kernel to distinguish forged images from authentic ones. The proposed method has been experimented extensively on three publicly available well-known image splicing and copy-move detection benchmark datasets of color images. Results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over recently proposed state-of-the-art approaches in terms of well accepted performance metrics such as accuracy, area under ROC curve and others.2018 International Conference on Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications, DICTA 201
