LBP and GLCM Based Image Forgery Recognition

Abstract

The forgery of digital images became very easy and it’s very difficult to ascertain the authenticity of such images by naked eye. Among the various kinds of image forgeries, image splicing is a frequent and widely used technique. Even though various methods are available to detect image splicing forgery, authors have attempted to provide a novel hybrid method which can yield greater accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. In this method, gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features are extracted using local binary pattern (LBP) operator on the image and the detection of the splicing forged images among the authentic images is done using the popular pattern recognition algorithms such as combined k-NN (Comb-KNN), back propagation neural network (BPNN) and support vector machine (SVM). The recorded results are also compared with the existing results of the previous studies to ascertain the quality of the results.
