“…Therefore, PRNU noise can be used to pinpoint the camera device which could be undesirable for some users, such as photographers and activists who want to protect their privacy and preserve their anonymity while sharing or spreading images (B€ ohme and Kirchner, 2013). Such practices of PRNU noise can be nullified by counterforensics techniques, such as flat-fielding (Gloe et al, 2007;B€ ohme and Kirchner, 2013), seam-carving (Bayram et al, 2013;, adaptive fingerprint removal (Luk a s et al, 2006;Li et al, 2010), or adaptive PRNU denoising (Dirik and Karaküçük, 2014). Among these methods, flat-fielding requires specifically captured images, called "flat-fields" to capture the PRNU of imaging sensors and it is sensitive to JPEG compression (Dirik and Karaküçük, 2014).…”
