Image Forgery Localization Based on Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Networks
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.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
Hybrid LSTM and Encoder-Decoder Architecture for Detection of Image Forgeries
With advanced image journaling tools, one can easily alter the semantic
meaning of an image by exploiting certain manipulation techniques such as
copy-clone, object splicing, and removal, which mislead the viewers. In
contrast, the identification of these manipulations becomes a very challenging
task as manipulated regions are not visually apparent. This paper proposes a
high-confidence manipulation localization architecture which utilizes
resampling features, Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) cells, and encoder-decoder
network to segment out manipulated regions from non-manipulated ones.
Resampling features are used to capture artifacts like JPEG quality loss,
upsampling, downsampling, rotation, and shearing. The proposed network exploits
larger receptive fields (spatial maps) and frequency domain correlation to
analyze the discriminative characteristics between manipulated and
non-manipulated regions by incorporating encoder and LSTM network. Finally,
decoder network learns the mapping from low-resolution feature maps to
pixel-wise predictions for image tamper localization. With predicted mask
provided by final layer (softmax) of the proposed architecture, end-to-end
training is performed to learn the network parameters through back-propagation
using ground-truth masks. Furthermore, a large image splicing dataset is
introduced to guide the training process. The proposed method is capable of
localizing image manipulations at pixel level with high precision, which is
demonstrated through rigorous experimentation on three diverse datasets
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
