Detecting and identifying manipulated portions within images poses a formidable challenge in research. Manipulated images, often created using image editing software such as Picasa or Photoshop, serve to obscure information and intentionally mislead viewers. Consequently, ensuring the authenticity of images becomes imperative prior to extracting meaningful data. One prevalent form of tampering is copy-move forgery, where objects are intentionally duplicated within an image using region of the same image. This study introduces a method for detecting copy-move forgery areas based on locating Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) keypoints in images. The SIFT technique is employed for feature extraction, while feature descriptors are matched using brute force matching. Subsequently, a clustering algorithm is applied to group spatially proximate keypoints, enabling the detection of cloned regions. Specifically, Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) is utilized to identify forged areas within the image. To mitigate erroneous forgery detection and reduce false positives, outlier detection techniques are employed. Experimental evaluations are conducted on the MICC-F220 and MICC-F600 datasets, with comparisons drawn against previously established methodologies.
