Abstract

Recent years have witnessed an exponential growth in the use of digital images due to development of high quality digital cameras and multimedia technology. Easy availability of image editing software has made digital image processing very popular. Ready to use software are available on internet which can be easily used to manipulate the images. In such an environment, the integrity of the image can not be taken for granted. Malicious tampering has serious implication for legal documents, copyright issues and forensic cases. Researchers have come forward with large number of methods to detect image tampering. The proposed method is based on hash generation technique using singular value decomposition. Design of an efficient hash vector as proposed will help in detection and localization of image tampering. The proposed method shows that it is robust against content preserving manipulation but extremely sensitive to even very minute structural tampering.
