Copy-Move is one of the most common technique for digital image tampering or forgery. Copy-Move in an image might be done to duplicate something or to hide an undesirable region. In some cases where these images are used for important purposes such as evidence in court of law, it is important to verify their authenticity. In this paper the authors propose a novel method to detect single region Copy-Move Forgery Detection (CMFD) using Speed-Up Robust Features (SURF), Histogram Oriented Gradient (HOG), Scale Invariant Features Transform (SIFT), and hybrid features such as SURF-HOG and SIFT-HOG. SIFT and SURF image features are immune to various transformations like rotation, scaling, translation, so SIFT and SURF image features help in detecting Copy-Move regions more accurately in compared to other image features. Further the authors have detected multiple regions COPY-MOVE forgery using SURF and SIFT image features. Experimental results demonstrate commendable performance of proposed methods.

Today, manipulating, storing, and sending digital images are simple and easy because of the development of digital imaging devices from hardware and software points of view. Digital images are used in different contexts of people’s lives such as news, forensics, and so on. Therefore, the reliability of received images is a question that often occupies the viewer’s mind and the authenticity of digital images is increasingly important. Detecting a forged image as a genuine one as well as detecting a genuine image as a forged one can sometimes have irreparable consequences. For example, an image that is available from the scene of a crime can lead to a wrong decision if it is detected incorrectly. In this paper, we propose a combination method to improve the accuracy of copy–move forgery detection (CMFD) reducing the false positive rate (FPR) based on texture attributes. The proposed method uses a combination of the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) and local binary pattern (LBP). Consideration of texture features around the keypoints detected by the SIFT algorithm can be effective to reduce the incorrect matches and improve the accuracy of CMFD. In addition, to find more and better keypoints some pre-processing methods have been proposed. This study was evaluated on the COVERAGE, GRIP, and MICC-F220 databases. Experimental results show that the proposed method without clustering or segmentation and only with simple matching operations, has been able to earn the true positive rates of 98.75%, 95.45%, and 87% on the GRIP, MICC-F220, and COVERAGE datasets, respectively. Also, the proposed method, with FPRs from 17.75% to 3.75% on the GRIP dataset, has been able to achieve the best results.

The most important barrier in the image forensic is to ensue a forgery detection method such can detect the copied region which sustains rotation, scaling reflection, compressing or all. Traditional SIFT method is not good enough to yield good result. Matching accuracy is not good. In order to improve the accuracy in copy move forgery detection, this paper suggests a forgery detection method especially for copy move attack using Key Point Localized Super Pixel (KLSP). The proposed approach harmonizes both Super Pixel Segmentation using Lazy Random Walk (LRW) and Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) based key point extraction. The experimental result indicates the proposed KLSP approach achieves better performance than the previous well known approaches.


Nowadays new and creative methods of forging images are developed with the invention of sophisticated softwares like Adobe photoshop. Tools available in such softwares will make the forged image look real which cannot be even identified by a naked eye. In this paper, key point based approach of taking out features using Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is used. The feature points thus extracted are then modeled to get a set of triangles using Delaunay Triangulation method. These triangles are matched using mean vertex descriptor and the removal of false positives is done using the method of Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC). Implementation show that the proposed approach outdoes the equivalent methods

Because digitized images are easily replicated or manipulated, copy-move forgery techniques are rendered possible with minimal expertise. Furthermore, it is difficult to verify the authenticity of images. Therefore, numerous efforts have been made to detect copy-move forgeries. In this paper, we present an improved region duplication detection algorithm based on the keypoints. The proposed algorithm utilizes the scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) and the reduced local binary pattern (LBP) histogram. The LBP values with 256 levels are obtained from the local window centered at the keypoint, which are then reduced to 10 levels. For a keypoint, a 138-dimensional is generated to detect copy-move forgery. We test the proposed algorithm on various image datasets and compare the detection accuracy with those of existing methods. The experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed scheme is superior to that of other tested copy-move forgery detection methods. Furthermore, the proposed method exhibits a uniform detection performance for various types of test datasets.

In this paper, we propose an investigation of the properties of structural image recognition methods in the cluster space of characteristic features. Recognition, which is based on key point descriptors like SIFT (Scale-invariant Feature Transform), SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features), ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF), etc., often relating to the search for corresponding descriptor values between an input image and all etalon images, which require many operations and time. Recognition of the previously quantized (clustered) sets of descriptor features is described. Clustering is performed across the complete set of etalon image descriptors and followed by screening, which allows for representation of each etalon image in vector form as a distribution of clusters. Due to such representations, the number of computation and comparison procedures, which are the core of the recognition process, might be reduced tens of times. Respectively, the preprocessing stage takes additional time for clustering. The implementation of the proposed approach was tested on the Leeds Butterfly dataset. The dependence of cluster amount on recognition performance and processing time was investigated. It was proven that recognition may be performed up to nine times faster with only a moderate decrease in quality recognition compared to searching for correspondences between all existing descriptors in etalon images and input one without quantization.

For an indoor mobile robot’s Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM), a method of processing only one monocular image (640×480 pixel) of the environment is proposed. This method imitates a human’s ability to grasp at a glance the overall situation of a room, i.e., its layout and any objects or obstacles in it. Specific object recognition of a desk through the use of several camera angles is dealt with as one example. The proposed method has the following steps. 1) The bag-of-keypoints method is applied to the image to detect the existence of the object in the input image. 2) If the existence of the object is verified, the angle of the object is further detected using the bag-ofkeypoints method. 3) The candidates for the projection from template image to input image are obtained using Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) or edge information. Whether or not the projected area correctly corresponds to the object is checked using the AdaBoost classifier, based on various image features such as Haar-like features. Through these steps, the desk is eventually extractedwith angle information if it exists in the image.
