Title
Image forgery detection through residual-based local descriptors and block-matching
Abstract
We propose a new image forgery detection technique which fuses the outputs of two very diverse tools, based on machine learning and block-matching, respectively. The machine-learning tool builds upon some local descriptors recently proposed in the steganalysis field, which are selected and merged based on an ad hoc measure of reliability. The block-matching tool leverages on the patchmatch algorithm for fast search of candidate matchings. Both tools are fine-tuned so as to optimize their fusion which, in turn, exploits the respective strengths and weaknesses of each tool. The proposed technique ranked first in phase 1 of the first Image Forensics Challenge organized in 2013 by the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
