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.

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.


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

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.

In recent years, satellites capable of capturing videos have been developed and launched to provide high definition satellite videos that enable applications far beyond the capabilities of remotely sensed imagery. Moving object detection and moving object tracking are among the most essential and challenging tasks, but existing studies have mainly focused on vehicles. To accurately detect and then track more complex moving objects, specifically airplanes, we need to address the challenges posed by the new data. First, slow-moving airplanes may cause foreground aperture problem during detection. Second, various disturbances, especially parallax motion, may cause false detection. Third, airplanes may perform complex motions, which requires a rotation-invariant and scale-invariant tracking algorithm. To tackle these difficulties, we first develop an Improved Gaussian-based Background Subtractor (IPGBBS) algorithm for moving airplane detection. This algorithm adopts a novel strategy for background and foreground adaptation, which can effectively deal with the foreground aperture problem. Then, the detected moving airplanes are tracked by a Primary Scale Invariant Feature Transform (P-SIFT) keypoint matching algorithm. The P-SIFT keypoint of an airplane exhibits high distinctiveness and repeatability. More importantly, it provides a highly rotation-invariant and scale-invariant feature vector that can be used in the matching process to determine the new locations of the airplane in the frame sequence. The method was tested on a satellite video with eight moving airplanes. Compared with state-of-the-art algorithms, our IPGBBS algorithm achieved the best detection accuracy with the highest F1 score of 0.94 and also demonstrated its superiority on parallax motion suppression. The P-SIFT keypoint matching algorithm could successfully track seven out of the eight airplanes. Based on the tracking results, movement trajectories of the airplanes and their dynamic properties were also estimated.

Any researcher's goal is to improve detection accuracy with a limited feature vector dimension. Therefore, in this paper, we attempt to find and discover the best types of texture features and classifiers that are appropriate for the coarse mesh finite differenc (CMFD). Segmentation-based fractal texture analysis (SFTA), local binary pattern (LBP), and Haralick are the texture features that have been chosen. K-nearest neighbors (KNN), naïve Bayes, and Logistics are also among the classifiers chosen. SFTA, local binary pattern (LBP), and Haralick feature vector are fed to the KNN, naïve Bayes, and logistics classifier. The outcomes of the experiment indicate that the SFTA texture feature surpassed all other texture features in all classifiers, making it the best texture feature to use in forgery detection. Haralick feature has the second-best texture feature performance in all of the classifiers. The performance using the LBP feature is lower than that of the other texture features. It also shows that the KNN classifier outperformed the other two in terms of accuracy. However, among the classifiers, the logistic classifier had the lowest accuracy. The proposed SFTA based KNN method is compared to other state-of-the-art techniques in terms of feature dimension and detection accuracy. The proposed method outperforms other current techniques.
