TY - EJOU AU - Rai, Anjani Kumar AU - Srivastava, Subodh TI - A Thorough Investigation on Image Forgery Detection T2 - Computer Modeling in Engineering \& Sciences PY - 2023 VL - 134 IS - 3 SN - 1526-1506 AB - Image forging is the alteration of a digital image to conceal some of the necessary or helpful information. It cannot be easy to distinguish the modified region from the original image in some circumstances. The demand for authenticity and the integrity of the image drive the detection of a fabricated image. There have been cases of ownership infringements or fraudulent actions by counterfeiting multimedia files, including re-sampling or copy-moving. This work presents a high-level view of the forensics of digital images and their possible detection approaches. This work presents a thorough analysis of digital image forgery detection techniques with their steps and effectiveness. These methods have identified forgery and its type and compared it with state of the art. This work will help us to find the best forgery detection technique based on the different environments. It also shows the current issues in other methods, which can help researchers find future scope for further research in this field.
