Abstract-In this paper, a multi-resolution Weber law descriptors (WLD) based image forgery detection method is introduced. Due to the maturing of digital image processing techniques, there are many tools, which can edit an image easily without leaving obvious traces to the human eyes. So the authentication of digital images is an important issue in our life. The proposed multi-resolution WLD extracts the features from chrominance components, which can give more information that the human eyes cannot notice. A support vector machine is used for classification purpose. The experiments are conducted on a large image database designed for forgery detection. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of the proposed method can reach up to 93.33 % with multi-resolution WLD descriptor on the chrominance space of the images.

Abstract-Due to the availability of easy-to-use and powerful image editing tools, the authentication of digital images cannot be taken for granted and it gives rise to non-intrusive forgery detection problem because all imaging devices do not embed watermark. We investigated the detection of copy-move and splicing, the two harmful types of image forgery, using textural properties of images. Tampering distorts the texture micropatterns in an image and texture descriptors can be employed to detect tampering. We did comparative study to examine the effect of two state-of-the-art best texture descriptors: Multiscale Local Binary Pattern (Multi-LBP) and Multiscale Weber Law Descriptor (Multi-WLD). Multiscale texture descriptors extracted from the chrominance components of an image are passed to Support Vector Machine (SVM) to identify it as authentic or forged. The performance comparison reveals that Multi-WLD performs better than Multi-LBP in detecting copymove and splicing forgeries. Multi-WLD also outperforms stateof-the-art passive forgery detection techniques.

Abstract. In this paper, a detailed evaluation of multi-scale Weber local descriptors (WLD) based image forgery detection method is presented. Multiscale WLD extracts the features from chrominance components of an image, which usually encode the tampering information that escapes the human eyes. The WLD incorporates differential excitation and gradient orientation of a center pixel around a neighborhood. In the multi-scale WLD, three different neighborhoods are chosen. A support vector machine is used for classification purpose. The experiments are conducted on three image databases, namely, CASIA v1.0, CASIA v2.0, and Columbia color. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of the proposed method are 94.19% for CASIA v1.0, 96.61% for CASIA v2.0, and 94.17% for Columbia dataset. These accuracies are significantly higher than those obtained by some state-of-the-art methods.

With the growing use of the internet and social media, data security has become a major issue. Thus, researchers are focusing on data security techniques such as steganography and steganalysis. Steganography is the approach of concealing the existence of secret messages in digital media for secure transmission. Steganalysis techniques aim to detect the existence of concealed messages and extract them. Digital image steganography and steganalysis techniques are classified into the spatial and transform domains. In this paper, we provide a detailed survey of the state-of-the-art works that have been performed in two-dimensional and three-dimensional image steganalysis. We present the most popular datasets and explain some steganographic methods for embedding hidden data. Steganalysis is a very difficult task due to the lack of information about the characteristics of the cover media that can be exploited to detect hidden messages. Therefore, we review studies performed on image steganalysis in the spatial and transform domains using classical machine learning and deep learning approaches. Additionally, we present open challenges and discuss some directions for future research.
