According to the characteristics of the color filter array interpolation in a camera, an image splicing forgery detection algorithm based on bi-cubic interpolation and Gaussian mixture model is proposed. The authors make the assumption that the image is acquired using a color filter array, and that tampering removes the artifacts due to a demosaicing algorithm. This article extracts the image features based on the variance of the prediction error and create image feature likelihood map to detect and locate the image tampered areas. The experimental results show that the proposed method can detect and locate the splicing tampering areas precisely. Compared with bi-linear interpolation, this method can reduce the prediction error and improve the detection accuracy.
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.
