Video frame and region duplication forgery detection based on correlation coefficient and coefficient of variation

Abstract

In this paper, we present a passive blind scheme consisting of two different algorithms to detect frame and region duplication forgeries in videos. We have examined the video frame duplication forgery in three different forms such as duplication of a sequence of consecutive video frames at long continue running position, duplication of many such sequences having different lengths at many different locations and duplication from other videos having different and same dimensions which can raise a serious problem in the real world scenario. The algorithm I of proposed scheme has detected these three different forms of copy-moved frame duplication forgery in videos by obtaining the mean features of each video frame for evaluating the correlation between sequences. In this paper, we have also analysed forged regular and irregular region within same frame at different locations and from other frame to one or more sequences of consecutive frames of the same video at same locations. It creates a challenge to detect this copy-move forgery due to slightly change in pixel intensity values in the duplicated region and providing high correlation as authentic region. The algorithm II of proposed scheme has detected these copy-moved region duplication forgeries in videos by locating the position of error with threshold process in order to calculate the similarities between regions of two frames or within affected frame. In this paper, the experimental results show the higher detection accuracy and execution time efficiency of proposed scheme than the latest algorithms with satisfactory performance.
