In this paper, we have proposed a novel methodology based on statistical features and different machine learning algorithms. The proposed model can be divided into three main stages, namely, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. In the preprocessing stage, the median filter has been used in order to remove salt-and-pepper noise because MRI images are normally affected by this type of noise, the grayscale images are also converted to RGB images in this stage. In the preprocessing stage, the histogram equalization has also been used to enhance the quality of each RGB channel. In the feature extraction stage, the three channels, namely, red, green, and blue, are extracted from the RGB images and statistical measures, namely, mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, entropy, energy, contrast, homogeneity, and correlation, are calculated for each channel; hence, a total of 27 features, 9 for each channel, are extracted from an RGB image. After the feature extraction stage, different machine learning algorithms, such as artificial neural network, k -nearest neighbors’ algorithm, decision tree, and Naïve Bayes classifiers, have been applied in the classification stage on the features extracted in the feature extraction stage. We recorded the results with all these algorithms and found that the decision tree results are better as compared to the other classification algorithms which are applied on these features. Hence, we have considered decision tree for further processing. We have also compared the results of the proposed method with some well-known algorithms in terms of simplicity and accuracy; it was noted that the proposed method outshines the existing methods.

Significant progress has been made in generating counterfeit images and videos. Forged videos generated by deepfaking have been widely spread and have caused severe societal impacts, which stir up public concern about automatic deepfake detection technology. Recently, many deepfake detection methods based on forged features have been proposed. Among the popular forged features, textural features are widely used. However, most of the current texture-based detection methods extract textures directly from RGB images, ignoring the mature spectral analysis methods. Therefore, this research proposes a deepfake detection network fusing RGB features and textural information extracted by neural networks and signal processing methods, namely, MFF-Net. Specifically, it consists of four key components: (1) a feature extraction module to further extract textural and frequency information using the Gabor convolution and residual attention blocks; (2) a texture enhancement module to zoom into the subtle textural features in shallow layers; (3) an attention module to force the classifier to focus on the forged part; (4) two instances of feature fusion to firstly fuse textural features from the shallow RGB branch and feature extraction module and then to fuse the textural features and semantic information. Moreover, we further introduce a new diversity loss to force the feature extraction module to learn features of different scales and directions. The experimental results show that MFF-Net has excellent generalization and has achieved state-of-the-art performance on various deepfake datasets.

Quantitative image analysis systems have been used for several years in research and quality control applications in various fields including metallurgy and medicine. The technique has been applied as an extension of subjective microscopy to problems requiring quantitative results and which are amenable to automatic methods of interpretation.Feature extraction. In the most general sense, a feature can be defined as a portion of the image which differs in some consistent way from the background. A feature may be characterized by the density difference between itself and the background, by an edge gradient, or by the spatial frequency content (texture) within its boundaries. The task of feature extraction includes recognition of features and encoding of the associated information for quantitative analysis.Quantitative Analysis. Quantitative analysis is the determination of one or more physical measurements of each feature. These measurements may be straightforward ones such as area, length, or perimeter, or more complex stereological measurements such as convex perimeter or Feret's diameter.
