A complex processing chain is applied from the moment a raw image is acquired until the final image is obtained. This process transforms the originally Poisson-distributed noise into a complex noise model. Noise inconsistency analysis is a rich source for forgery detection, as forged regions have likely undergone a different processing pipeline or out-camera processing. We propose a multi-scale approach, which is shown to be suitable for analyzing the highly correlated noise present in JPEG-compressed images. We estimate a noise curve for each image block, in each color channel and at each scale. We then compare each noise curve to its corresponding noise curve obtained from the whole image by counting the percentage of bins of the local noise curve that are below the global one. This procedure yields crucial detection cues since many forgeries create a local noise deficit. Our method is shown to be competitive with the state of the art. It outperforms all other methods when evaluated using the MCC score, or on forged regions large enough and for colorization attacks, regardless of the evaluation metric.

Digital image forgery is a serious problem of an increasing attention from the research society. Image splicing is a well-known type of digital image forgery in which the forged image is synthesized from two or more images. Splicing forgery detection is more challenging when compared with other forgery types because the forged image does not contain any duplicated regions. In addition, unavailability of source images introduces no evidence about the forgery process. In this study, an automated image splicing forgery detection scheme is presented. It depends on extracting the feature of images based on the analysis of color filter array (CFA). A feature reduction process is performed using principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensionality of the resulting feature vectors. A deep belief network-based classifier is built and trained to classify the tested images as authentic or spliced images. The proposed scheme is evaluated through a set of experiments on Columbia Image Splicing Detection Evaluation Dataset (CISDED) under different scenarios including adding postprocessing on the spliced images such JPEG compression and Gaussian Noise. The obtained results reveal that the proposed scheme exhibits a promising performance with 95.05% precision, 94.05% recall, 94.05% true positive rate, and 98.197% accuracy. Moreover, the obtained results show the superiority of the proposed scheme compared to other recent splicing detection method.

Image forgery detection is developing as one of the major research topic among researchers in the area of image forensics. These image forgery detection is addressed by two different types: (i) Active, (ii) Passive. Further consist of some different methods, such as Copy-Move, Image Splicing, and Retouching. Development of the image forgery is very necessary to detect as the image is true or it is forgery. In this paper, an efficient forgery detection and classification technique is proposed by three different stages. At first stage, preprocessing is carried out using bilateral filtering to remove noise. At second stage, extract unique features from forged image by using efficient feature extraction technique namely Gray Level Co-occurance Matrices (GLCM). Here, the GLCM improves the feature extraction accuracy. Finally, forged image is detected by classifying the type of image forgery using Multi Class- Support Vector Machine (SVM). Also, the performance of the proposed method is analyzed using the following metrics: accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.

In recent years, digital image forgery detection has become one of the hardest studying area for researchers investigations in the field of information security and image processing. Image forgery detection methods can be divided into two extensive groups such as Active methods and Passive (Blind) methods. Active methods have been used data hiding techniques like watermarking and digital signatures. Passive forensic methods (or Blind) use image statistics or they investigate the attributes of the image to determine the forgeries. Passive detection techniques are also split into three branches; image splicing, image retouching, copy-move. Such image forgery detection methods are focus of this paper.
