Detecting Resized Double JPEG Compressed Images – Using Support Vector Machine

Abstract

Abstract. Since JPEG is the most widely used compression standard, detection of forgeries in JPEG images is necessary. In order to create a forged JPEG image, the image is usually loaded into a photo editing software, manipulated and then re-saved as JPEG. This yields to double JPEG compression artifacts, which can possibly reveal the forgery. Many techniques for the detection of double JPEG compressed images have been proposed. However, when the image is resized before the second compression step, the blocking artifacts of the first JPEG compression are destroyed. Therefore, most reported techniques for detecting double JPEG compression do not work for this case. In this paper, we propose a technique for detecting resized double JPEG compressed (called RD-JPEG) images. We first identify features that can discriminate RD-JPEG images from JPEG images and then use Support Vector Machines (SVM) as a classification tool. Experiments with many RD-JPEG images with different quality and scaling factors indicate that our technique works well.

“…Moreover, in order to examine the influence of the choice of dimensions K of encryption matrices , for each of the two described variants of the examined method, the effectiveness of the compression process was evaluated for three different values of K , namely for and 32. For all the described tests the compression levels were regulated by appropriate modification [ 36 ], p. 122 of the standard quantization table, given in ( 21 ). The PSNR was used as the image reconstruction quality measure, calculated as: where stands the vertical and horizontal resolutions of images, and , stand for the original and reconstructed images, respectively, for each of the tested methods.…”

“…In [66], a method to detect cropping and re-compression operations within JPEG images using blocking artifact characteristics matrix (BACM) was proposed. Cropping operation disturbs the symmetry of the BACM, and thus it can be employed as evidence to detect double compressed JPEG cropped images [67]. Study [68] devised a fully automated cropping forgery detector for images cropped asymmetrically by estimating the camera principal point.…”
