An improved copy-move forgery detection based on density-based clustering and guaranteed outlier removal

Copy-move image forgery detection has become a significant research subject in multimedia forensics and security due to its widespread use and its hard detection. In this type of image forging, a region of the image is copied and pasted elsewhere in the same image. Keypoint-based forgery detection a...

description Copy-move image forgery detection has become a significant research subject in multimedia forensics and security due to its widespread use and its hard detection. In this type of image forging, a region of the image is copied and pasted elsewhere in the same image. Keypoint-based forgery detection approaches use local visual features to identify the duplicated regions. The performance of keypoint-based methods degrades in those cases when the duplicated regions are near to each other and when handling highly textured area. The clustering algorithm that mostly used in keypoint- based methods suffer from high complexity. In this paper, an improved approach for keypoint- based copy-move forgery detection is proposed. The proposed method is based on density-based clustering and Guaranteed Outlier Removal algorithm. Experimental results carried out on various benchmark datasets exhibit that the proposed method surpasses other similar state-of-the-art techniques under different challenging conditions, such as geometric attacks, post-processing attacks, and multiple cloning.
