A 3-D Stability Analysis of Lee Harvey Oswald in the Backyard Photo
Fifty years have passed since the assassination of U.S. President Kennedy. Despite the long passage of time, it is still argued that the famous backyard photo of Oswald, holding the same type of rifle used to assassinate the President, is a fake. These claims include, among others, that Oswald’s pose in the photo is physically implausible. We describe a detailed 3-D stability analysis to determine if this claim is warranted
Visual Computing and Machine Learning Techniques for Digital Forensics
It is impressive how fast science has improved day by day in so many different fields. In special, technology advances are shocking so many people bringing to their reality facts that previously were beyond their imagination. Inspired by methods earlier presented in scientific fiction shows, the computer science community has created a new research area named Digital Forensics, which aims at developing and deploying methods for fighting against digital crimes such as digital image forgery.This work presents some of the main concepts associated with Digital Forensics and, complementarily, presents some recent and powerful techniques relying on Computer Graphics, Image Processing, Computer Vision and Machine Learning concepts for detecting forgeries in photographs. Some topics addressed in this work include: sourceattribution, spoofing detection, pornography detection, multimedia phylogeny, and forgery detection. Finally, this work highlights the challenges and open problems in Digital Image Forensics to provide the readers with the myriad opportunities available for research
Localization of JPEG double compression through multi-domain convolutional neural networks
When an attacker wants to falsify an image, in most of cases she/he will
perform a JPEG recompression. Different techniques have been developed based on
diverse theoretical assumptions but very effective solutions have not been
developed yet. Recently, machine learning based approaches have been started to
appear in the field of image forensics to solve diverse tasks such as
acquisition source identification and forgery detection. In this last case, the
aim ahead would be to get a trained neural network able, given a to-be-checked
image, to reliably localize the forged areas. With this in mind, our paper
proposes a step forward in this direction by analyzing how a single or double
JPEG compression can be revealed and localized using convolutional neural
networks (CNNs). Different kinds of input to the CNN have been taken into
consideration, and various experiments have been carried out trying also to
evidence potential issues to be further investigated.Comment: Accepted to CVPRW 2017, Workshop on Media Forensic
