Taylor-rider-based deep convolutional neural network for image forgery detection in 3D lighting environment

Abstract

PurposeWith the advancements in photo editing software, it is possible to generate fake images, degrading the trust in digital images. Forged images, which appear like authentic images, can be created without leaving any visual clues about the alteration in the image. Image forensic field has introduced several forgery detection techniques, which effectively distinguish fake images from the original ones, to restore the trust in digital images. Among several forgery images, spliced images involving human faces are more unsafe. Hence, there is a need for a forgery detection approach to detect the spliced images.Design/methodology/approachThis paper proposes a Taylor-rider optimization algorithm-based deep convolutional neural network (Taylor-ROA-based DeepCNN) for detecting spliced images. Initially, the human faces in the spliced images are detected using the Viola–Jones algorithm, from which the 3-dimensional (3D) shape of the face is established using landmark-based 3D morphable model (L3DMM), which estimates the light coefficients. Then, the distance measures, such as Bhattacharya, Seuclidean, Euclidean, Hamming, Chebyshev and correlation coefficients are determined from the light coefficients of the faces. These form the feature vector to the proposed Taylor-ROA-based DeepCNN, which determines the spliced images.FindingsExperimental analysis using DSO-1, DSI-1, real dataset and hybrid dataset reveal that the proposed approach acquired the maximal accuracy, true positive rate (TPR) and true negative rate (TNR) of 99%, 98.88% and 96.03%, respectively, for DSO-1 dataset. The proposed method reached the performance improvement of 24.49%, 8.92%, 6.72%, 4.17%, 0.25%, 0.13%, 0.06%, and 0.06% in comparison to the existing methods, such as Kee and Farid's, shape from shading (SFS), random guess, Bo Peng et al., neural network, FOA-SVNN, CNN-based MBK, and Manoj Kumar et al., respectively, in terms of accuracy.Originality/valueThe Taylor-ROA is developed by integrating the Taylor series in rider optimization algorithm (ROA) for optimally tuning the DeepCNN.

Hybrid GA and Improved CNN Algorithm for Power Plant Transformer Condition Monitoring Model

“…Second, from the transformer's composition structure can be divided into winding failure, auxiliary equipment failure, filling failure and transformer core failure. Finally, from the different parts of the fault generation, it is divided into equipment insulation, core insulation, bushing faults, and tap changer faults [14]. Among them, overheating faults are one of the most common faults that, in addition to affecting the daily operation of the transformer, also affect the operation of the generator set, thus causing significant fluctuations in the power grid, as shown in Figure 1.…”

“…Tsuiki et al [7] developed a deep CNN for recognizing lateral head shadow measurement film images and found its high accuracy through experiments. Vinolin et al [8] designed a deep convolutional neural network called Taylor-ROA-based DeepCNN using the Taylor-rider optimization algorithm to detect forged and original images. The experimental results demonstrated that this approach significantly improved accuracy compared to existing methods.…”
