description Although high dynamic range (HDR) is now a common format of digital images, limited work has been done for HDR source forensics. This paper presents a method based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect the source of HDR images, which is built in the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain. Specifically, the input spatial image is converted into DCT domain with discrete cosine transform. Then, an adaptive multi-scale convolutional (AMSC) layer extracts features related to HDR source forensics from different scales. The features extracted by AMSC are further processed by two convolutional layers with pooling and batch normalization operations. Finally, classification is conducted by a fully connected layer with Softmax function. Experimental results indicate that the proposed DCT-CNN outperforms the state-of-the-art schemes, especially in accuracy, robustness, and adaptability.
