Squirrel Henry Gas Solubility Optimization driven Deep Maxout Network with multi‐texture feature descriptors for digital image forgery detection

Abstract

SummaryThe ability to detect image forgeries is a crucial component in solving many problems, especially social ones that arise in legal proceedings, on Facebook, and so forth. Generally, forgery detection attempts to predict the artifacts through evaluating the differences in texture properties of an image. One division of an image is copied in a comparable image, typically at a different position, in a process known as copy move forgery. The two main types of copy move forgery prediction are keypoint‐based and block‐based techniques. While the block‐based approach takes more time, the keypoint‐based model performs poorly. The goal of this research was to develop a method for detecting image counterfeiting called the Squirrel Henry Gas Solubility Optimization algorithm‐based Deep Maxout Network (SHGSO‐based DMN). Here, Steerable Pyramid Transform (SPT) decomposition is done in order to obtain quantity of multi‐scale and multi‐oriented sub bands. For the purpose of detecting forgeries, the Deep Maxout Network which was constructed using the SHGSO model is deployed. With accuracy of 0.9507, True Negative Rate (TNR) of 0.9568, and True Positive Rate (TPR) of 0.9517, the new method outperformed other current forgery detection techniques.
