Reliable and Fast Forgery Detection using FINE GRAINED approach

Abstract

Forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. A digital forensic investigation commonly consists of 3 stages: acquisition or imaging of exhibits, analysis, and reporting. Previously, it is able to detect tampered images at high accuracy based on some carefully designed mechanisms,localization of the tampered regions in a fake image still presents many challenges, especially when the type of tampering operation is unknown. Later on, necessary to integrate different forensic approaches in order to obtain better localization performance. However, several important issues have not been comprehensively studied, to improve/readjust proper forensic approaches, and to fuse the detection results of different forensic approaches to obtain good localization results. In this paper, we propose a framework to improve the performance of forgery localization via implementing tampering possibility maps along with fusion based technique. In the proposed framework, we first select and improve existing forensic approaches, i.e., copy-move forgery detector and statistical feature based approach, and then improve their results to obtain tampering possibility maps
