Camera identification is an important topic in the field of digital image forensics. There are three levels of classification: brand, model, and device. Studies in the literature are mainly focused on camera model identification. These studies are increasingly based on deep learning (DL). The methods based on deep learning are dedicated to three main goals: basic (only model)triple (brand, model and device) -open-set (known and unknown cameras) classifications. Unlike other areas of image processing such as face recognition, most of these methods are only evaluated on a single database (Dresden) while a few others are publicly available. The available databases have a diversity in terms of camera content and distribution that is unique to each of them and makes the use of a single database questionable. Therefore, we conducted extensive tests with different public databases (Dresden, SOCRatES, and Forchheim) that combine enough features to perform a viable comparison of DL-based methods for camera model identification. In addition, the different classifications (basic, triple, open-set) pose a disparity problem preventing comparisons. We therefore decided to focus only on the basic camera model identification. We also use transfer learning (specifically fine-tuning) to perform our comparative study across databases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
