    Master of Engineering- ECTalking of today’s digital revolution, where visual data is playing an imperative role, accessing, processing, and sharing of most of the information is typically attained with the help of video. These video sequences have shown their significance in various fields like news broadcasting, legal trials in court rooms, and many more but the doctoring of authentic visual content has made it uncertain to use as an evidence. Doctored video generation with a fast-growing rate done by easily accessible editing software like Adobe Photoshop, filmora, etc. have proved to be a major problem in maintaining its authenticity. The extent of forging is so vast that video spoofs reach our electronic-mail in-boxes, WhatsApp, Facebook or any other social media every minute and this fakery is totally indistinguishable that hence raise a demand for a new versatile field to perceive any alteration. Video forgery detection aims at restoring the trust and validating the authenticity by uncovering the counterfeits. But the traditional approaches used so far to detect forgeries have faced difficulties like less accurate detection rate and more false negatives. Nowadays, deep neural networks have been recognized as an effective technique in eradicating such troubles by learning significant features. The increasing attempt of video modification has drawn greater attention towards Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) for achieving better counterfeits recognition.The proposed work is about “Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Object Forgery Detection in Video” that aims to detect forgery without requiring additional pre-embedded information of the frame. The proposed DCNN consists of various neurons where weights and biases are defined for individual neuron which helps the network to learn the data properly. Unlike other pre-existing learning-techniques, the proposed algorithm classifies the forged frames on the basis of correlation among them and the observed abnormalities using DCNN. The decoders used for batch normalization of input improves the training swiftness. It leads to an inordinate evidence in recognizing and discovering the fake regions. Simulation results are obtained on MATLAB 2018a with NVIDIA Cuda Graphics with REWIND and GRIP dataset which is rich in video inter-frame forgery effects. The outcomes so obtained with an average accuracy of 99% shows the superiority of the proposed algorithm as compared to existing one. The robustness of proposed algorithm is also tested on You Tube compressed video sequences. Recurrent Neural Networks can be combined with DCNN to achieve comparatively remarkable results in future.TIE

    Ph.D ThesisNowadays, it is challenging to trust any digital image due to the convenient availability of manipulation software like Photoshop, GIMP, and Coral Draw etc. Therefore, it becomes tough to differentiate between an authentic image and tampered image. Traditional methods for image forgery detection generally use handcrafted features. The challenge with the traditional image tampering detection approaches is that most of the methods need improvement as only certain features are identified. These days, Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are widely used in image forgery. These techniques prove their efficacy with better accuracy and other performance parameters than traditional methods. There are many types of image forgery, like copy-move, splicing, and retouching. In this thesis, copy-move and splicing forgery are detected using ML and DL techniques.The first algorithm provides a copy-move image forgery detection using machine learning and deep learning. In this work, machine and deep learning algorithms are proposed to find out different image forgeries. First, the proposed algorithm applies color illumination in preprocessing, then Scale Invarient Feature Transform (SIFT) is used to extract features, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifies correct forged pixels. The proposed methodology gives better results for CMF detection as Precision=97.25%, Recall=100%, and F1=98.53%.The second algorithm provides a deep convolution neural network (DCNN) that uses automatic feature extraction and localizes copy-move forgery and splicing forgery. In the feature extraction and localize forgery, the performance can be enhanced using the ML and DL. Finally, the applications of proposed color illumination, convolution neural network, and semantic segmentation are demonstrated for forgery detection. The proposed algorithm performance accuracy is calculated on the CASIA v1.0 validation set, and the test set is 98% and 99%, respectively. The performance accuracy is calculated on the CASIA v2.0 validation set, and the test set is 98% and 98%, respectively. The DVMM dataset forgery detection accuracy is 97%. The BSDS300 dataset forgery detection accuracy is 98%. The proposed algorithm is tested on imagelevel on CMFD dataset and achieved performance accuracy, i.e. Precision (P) = 98%, Recall (R) = 100% and F1 = 99%.The third algorithm presented robustness of algorithms against geometrical attacks using color illumination, a deep convolution neural network, SIFT, and SVM. Geometrical attacks, such as scaling, rotation, and JPEG, were identified. The plain CMF attack detection results are: P=97.25%; R=100% and F1=98.53%. The JPEG CMF attack detection results are: P=71.44%; R=58.44% and F1=63.77%. The scale CMF attack detection results are: P=85.2%; R=74.8% and F1=79.1%. The rotation CMF attack results are: P=87.83%; R=76.33% and F1=86.16%. Comparison with state-of-the-art techniques proves the efficacy of the presented algorithms. In the future, suggested algorithms can be implemented on real-time applications with some improvements

    An Adaptive Hybrid Algorithm For Digital Image Copy-Move Forgery Detection

    Due to the development of sophisticated cameras and image editing tools, digital image tampering techniques are frequently used without leaving visual cues behind. Digital image copy-move forgery is said to be an image manipulation which involves copying and pasting of certain section (or sections) within the same digital image. Generally, this is done with intention of hiding important information or providing false information in an image. This motivates a need for forgery detection systems that are transparent to such manipulations and can disclose whether a given image has been morphed just by investigating the dummy image. Several methods have been presented for the copy-move forgery detection in recent years. Nearly all of the existing block-based methods are computationally expensive and robust to noise addition, JPEG compression, but are susceptible to geometrical attacks like rotation, translation and scaling. On the other hand, keypoint-based detection techniques are computationally efficient as well as perform better under geometrical attacks in comparison with block-based methods but suffer from low recall rate. The proposed technique is a hybrid one which incorporates both block-based and keypointbased schemes in order to deal with their drawbacks. Focus of the proposed thesis work is on achieving 100% precision and recall at image level copy move forgery detection using adaptive algorithm. Firstly, adaptive image segmentation is performed on the test image resulting in image patches followed by detection and extraction of features of these patches. These features are matched patch-wise to obtain suspected keypoint pairs. An adaptive keypoint matching algorithm is used to extract matched keypoint pairs from the suspected keypoint pairs. Finally, an adaptive forgery region extraction is used to locate similar areas in the test image. The evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid scheme is more robust under plain as well as various challenging situations such as down-sampling, up-scaling, downscaling and JPEG compression than the prior state-of-the-art techniques. The proposed scheme achieved improved results with 100% precision, 100% recall and 100% F1 score at image level, while 95.01% precision, 87.18% recall and 90.92% F1 score at pixel level under plain copy-move attack. The proposed adaptive scheme can be extended to videos in future
