Robust Contrast Enhancement Forensics Using Convolutional Neural Networks
share
Contrast enhancement(CE) forensics has always been attracted widely attention on image forensic community. It can provide an effective rule for recovering image history and identifying and locating tampered images. Although, a number of algorithms have been proposed, the robustness of CE forensics technique for common pre/post processings is not satisfactory. To deal with it, in this letter, we first take the theoretical analysis for the robustness and stability of feature space in pixel and histogram domain. Then, two kinds of end-to-end methods based on convolutional neural networks: P-CNN, H-CNN, are proposed to achieve robust CE forensics when JPEG compression and histogram-based anti-forensics attack is applied as an pre/post processing, respectively. The experimental results prove that the proposed methods have much better performance than the stateof- the-art schemes.
