Abstract As image manipulation technology advances rapidly, the malicious use of image tampering has alarmingly escalated, posing a significant threat to social stability. In the realm of image tampering localization, accurately localizing limited samples, multiple types, and various sizes of regions remains a multitude of challenges. These issues impede the model’s universality and generalization capability and detrimentally affect its performance. To tackle these issues, we propose FL-MobileViT-an improved MobileViT model devised for image tampering localization. Our proposed model utilizes a dual-stream architecture that independently processes the RGB and noise domain, and captures richer traces of tampering… More >

Abstract Recently, digital images have become the most used data, thanks to high internet speed and high resolution, cheap and easily accessible digital cameras. We generate, transmit and store millions of images every second. Most of these images are insignificant images containing only personal information. However, in many fields such as banking, finance, public institutions, and educational institutions, the images of many valuable objects like ID cards, photographs, credit cards, and transaction receipts are stored and transmitted to the digital environment. These images are very significant and must be secured. A valuable image can be maliciously… More >

Abstract With the popularization of high-performance electronic imaging equipment and the wide application of digital image editing software, the threshold of digital image editing becomes lower and lower. This makes it easy to trick the human visual system with professionally altered images. These tampered images have brought serious threats to many fields, including personal privacy, news communication, judicial evidence collection, information security and so on. Therefore, the security and reliability of digital information has been increasingly concerned by the international community. In this paper, digital image tamper detection methods are classified according to the clues that More >

Abstract Increasingly advanced image processing technology has made digital image editing easier and easier. With image processing software at one’s fingertips, one can easily alter the content of an image, and the altered image is so realistic that it is illegible to the naked eye. These tampered images have posed a serious threat to personal privacy, social order, and national security. Therefore, detecting and locating tampered areas in images has important practical significance, and has become an important research topic in the field of multimedia information security. In recent years, deep learning technology has been widely… More >
