Digital Image Forgery Detection Using Deep Learning Models

One of the challenges to image trust in digital and online apps, as well as on social media, is the current situation. Image forgery detection is a technique for detecting and locating fabricated components in a modified image. A sufficient amount of features is necessary for good image forgery detection, which can be achieved using a deep learning model that does not require human feature engineering other handcraft feature techniques. In this paper we used the GoogleNet deep learning model to extract picture features and the Random Forest machine learning technique to determine whether or not the image was fabricated. The proposed approach is implemented on the publicly available benchmark dataset MICC-F220 with k-fold cross validation approach to split the data set in to training and testing dataset and also compared with the state-of-the-art approaches.

IRJET, 2023

The detection of fake images is crucial to maintain the credibility of digital content, especially in the current era of digital media and social networks. Image forgery has become increasingly common and sophisticated, posing a serious threat to the authenticity and validity of digital content. This paper presents a deep learning-based approach to image forgery detection, specifically using Error Level Analysis (ELA) with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and a pre-trained VGG-16 model. The study compares the performance of the two models and provides an in-depth analysis of the results. The experiments show that the ELA-CNN model achieves a remarkable accuracy rate of 99.87% and correctly identifies 99% of invisible images, while the VGG-16 model achieves a lower accuracy rate of 97.93% and a 75.87% validation rate. The research highlights the significance of using deep learning techniques in image forgery detection and explores the implications of the findings. The paper also discusses the limitations of the study and future enhancements that could be made to improve the precision and generalization skills of image forgery detection algorithms. This research contributes to the field of image forgery detection by providing a comprehensive comparison of deep learning-based algorithms and their effectiveness in identifying fake images. The findings of this study can be utilized to develop precise and effective image forgery detection tools to maintain the integrity of digital content and mitigate the negative consequences of picture alteration.

Image forgery detection: a survey of recent deep-learning approaches

Multimedia Tools and Applications, 2022

In the last years, due to the availability and easy of use of image editing tools, a large amount of fake and altered images have been produced and spread through the media and the Web. A lot of different approaches have been proposed in order to assess the authenticity of an image and in some cases to localize the altered (forged) areas. In this paper, we conduct a survey of some of the most recent image forgery detection methods that are specifically designed upon Deep Learning (DL) techniques, focusing on commonly found copy-move and splicing attacks. DeepFake generated content is also addressed insofar as its application is aimed at images, achieving the same effect as splicing. This survey is especially timely because deep learning powered techniques appear to be the most relevant right now, since they give the best overall performances on the available benchmark datasets. We discuss the key-aspects of these methods, while also describing the datasets on which they are trained and validated. We also discuss and compare (where possible) their performance. Building upon this analysis, we conclude by addressing possible future research trends and directions, in both deep learning architectural and evaluation approaches, and dataset building for easy methods comparison.

A New Deep Learning Based Technique To Detect Copy Move Forgery In Digital Images

IRJET, 2023

Due to the advancement of photo editing software, digital image forgery detection has become an active research area in recent years. In recent studies, deep learningbased methods outperformed hand-crafted methods in image tasks such as image classification and retrieval. As a result, the proposed method introduces a novel deep learning-based forgery detection scheme. The feature vectors are extracted using the VGG16 CNN model. After obtaining the features, the similarity between the feature vectors was investigated for the detection and localization of forgery. The test result is then compared with two other methods, and the corresponding F1measures are computed.

Capturing images has been increasingly popular in recent years, owing to the widespread availability of cameras. Images are essential in our daily lives because they contain a wealth of information, and it is often required to enhance images to obtain additional information. A variety of tools are available to improve image quality; nevertheless, they are also frequently used to falsify images, resulting in the spread of misinformation. This increases the severity and frequency of image forgeries, which is now a major source of concern. Numerous traditional techniques have been developed over time to detect image forgeries. In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have received much attention, and CNN has also influenced the field of image forgery detection. However, most image forgery techniques based on CNN that exist in the literature are limited to detecting a specific type of forgery (either image splicing or copy-move). As a result, a technique capable of efficien...

Deep learning for automated forgery detection in hyperspectral document images

Journal of Electronic Imaging, 2018

Deep learning is revolutionizing the already rapidly developing field of computer vision. The convolutional neural network (CNN) is a state-of-the-art deep learning tool that learns high level features directly from a huge dataset of labeled images. In document image processing, ink analysis allows for determination of ink age and forgery and identification of pen or writer. The spectral information of inks in hyperspectral document images provides valuable information about the underlying material and thus helps in identification and discrimination of inks based on their unique spectral signatures even if they have the same color. Ink mismatch detection is a key step in document forgery detection. Although various ink mismatch detection techniques are available in the recent literature, there is a constant need for development of more accurate and effective methods to empower automated document forgery detection. A state-of-the-art deep learning method for ink mismatch detection in hyperspectral document images is proposed. The spectral responses of ink pixels are extracted from a hyperspectral document image, reshaped to a CNN-friendly image format and fed to the CNN for classification. The proposed method effectively identifies different ink types in a hyperspectral document image for forgery detection and achieves an overall accuracy of 98.2% for blue and 88% for black inks, which is the highest accuracy among the latest techniques of ink mismatch detection on the UWA Writing Ink Hyperspectral Images (WIHSI) database and differentiates between the highest number of inks mixed in unbalanced proportions in a hyperspectral document image. Furthermore, a detailed discussion on selection of appropriate CNN architecture and classification results are presented in this paper along with comparison with the former methods of ink mismatch detection. This research opens a new window for research on automated forgery detection in hyperspectral document images using deep learning.
