Image Forgery Detection Based on Parallel Convolutional Neural Networks

Abstract

Abstract— Due to the availability of deep networks, progress has been made in the field of image recognition. Images and videos are spreading very conveniently and with the availability of strong editing tools the tampering of digital content become easy. To detect such scams, we proposed techniques. In our paper, we proposed two important aspects of employing deep convolutional neural networks to image forgery detection. We first explore and examine different preprocessing method along with convolutional neural networks (CNN) architecture. Later we evaluated the different transfer learning for pre-trained ImageNet(via-fine-tuning) and implement it over our dataset CASIA V2.0. So, it covers the pre-processing techniques with basic CNN model and later see the powerful effect of the transfer learning models.
