Image forgery detection based on the fusion of machine learning and block-matching methods
share
Dense local descriptors and machine learning have been used with success in several applications, like classification of textures, steganalysis, and forgery detection. We develop a new image forgery detector building upon some descriptors recently proposed in the steganalysis field suitably merging some of such descriptors, and optimizing a SVM classifier on the available training set. Despite the very good performance, very small forgeries are hardly ever detected because they contribute very little to the descriptors. Therefore we also develop a simple, but extremely specific, copy-move detector based on region matching and fuse decisions so as to reduce the missing detection rate. Overall results appear to be extremely encouraging.
