Image Forgery Detection and Localization via a Reliability Fusion Map

Abstract

Moving away from hand-crafted feature extraction, the use of data-driven convolution neural network (CNN)-based algorithms facilitates the realization of end-to-end automated forgery detection in multimedia forensics. On the basis of fingerprints acquired by images from different camera models, the goal of this paper is to design an effective detector capable of completing image forgery detection and localization. Specifically, relying on the designed constant high-pass filter, we first establish a well-performing CNN architecture to adaptively and automatically extract characteristics, and design a reliability fusion map (RFM) to improve localization resolution, and tamper detection accuracy. The extensive results from our empirical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed RFM-based detector, and its better performance than other competing approaches.
