Abstract Increasingly advanced image processing technology has made digital image editing easier and easier. With image processing software at one’s fingertips, one can easily alter the content of an image, and the altered image is so realistic that it is illegible to the naked eye. These tampered images have posed a serious threat to personal privacy, social order, and national security. Therefore, detecting and locating tampered areas in images has important practical significance, and has become an important research topic in the field of multimedia information security. In recent years, deep learning technology has been widely used in image tampering localization,… More >

Abstract The multi-purpose forensics is an important tool for forge image detection. In this paper, we propose a universal feature set for the multi-purpose forensics which is capable of simultaneously identifying several typical image manipulations, including spatial low-pass Gaussian blurring, median filtering, re-sampling, and JPEG compression. To eliminate the influences caused by diverse image contents on the effectiveness and robustness of the feature, a residual group which contains several highpass filtered residuals is introduced. The partial correlation coefficient is exploited from the residual group to purely measure neighborhood correlations in a linear way. Besides that, we also combine autoregressive coefficient and… More >

Abstract Content aware image resizing (CAIR) is an excellent technology used widely for image retarget. It can also be used to tamper with images and bring the trust crisis of image content to the public. Once an image is processed by CAIR, the correlation of local neighborhood pixels will be destructive. Although local binary patterns (LBP) can effectively describe the local texture, it however cannot describe the magnitude information of local neighborhood pixels and is also vulnerable to noise. Therefore, to deal with the detection of CAIR, a novel forensic method based on improved local ternary patterns (ILTP) feature and gradient… More >
