New Texture Descriptor Based on Modified Fractional Entropy for Digital Image Splicing Forgery Detection

Abstract

Forgery in digital images is immensely affected by the improvement of image manipulation tools. Image forgery can be classified as image splicing or copy-move on the basis of the image manipulation type. Image splicing involves creating a new tampered image by merging the components of one or more images. Moreover, image splicing disrupts the content and causes abnormality in the features of a tampered image. Most of the proposed algorithms are incapable of accurately classifying high-dimension feature vectors. Thus, the current study focuses on improving the accuracy of image splicing detection with low-dimension feature vectors. This study also proposes an approximated Machado fractional entropy (AMFE) of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to effectively capture splicing artifacts inside an image. AMFE is used as a new fractional texture descriptor, while DWT is applied to decompose the input image into a number of sub-images with different frequency bands. The standard image dataset CASIA v2 was used to evaluate the proposed approach. Superior detection accuracy and positive and false positive rates were achieved compared with other state-of-the-art approaches with a low-dimension of feature vectors.

“…Texture feature is an important aspect in many medical image analyses which provides a significant advantage in medical image classification. The concept of entropy has been generalized and applied in many scientific disciplines [ 26 ]. The entropy-based algorithms are the most significant feature extraction methods which are capable of detecting the image’s small changes in intensity values, as well as sharpening the texture details [ 27 ].…”
