Realistic image forgeries involve a combination of splicing, resampling,
cloning, region removal and other methods. While resampling detection
algorithms are effective in detecting splicing and resampling, copy-move
detection algorithms excel in detecting cloning and region removal. In this
paper, we combine these complementary approaches in a way that boosts the
overall accuracy of image manipulation detection. We use the copy-move
detection method as a pre-filtering step and pass those images that are
classified as untampered to a deep learning based resampling detection
framework. Experimental results on various datasets including the 2017 NIST
Nimble Challenge Evaluation dataset comprising nearly 10,000 pristine and
tampered images shows that there is a consistent increase of 8%-10% in
detection rates, when copy-move algorithm is combined with different resampling
detection algorithms
