Which of them are digitally manipulated?

How can we know? We call a digital image manipulated if either it has been retouched by a photo editing software or has been produced by the software itself. To prevent the former, the owner of the original image may introduce a watermark or a digital signature. But this process may not be feasible every time. Most approaches for detecting digital image manipulation are blind approaches.

Our Methodology In [1], the authors argue that the statistical artifacts associated with images generated from cameras is inherently different form that associated with images manipulated by a software. These properties can be captured by analyzing the noise present in the image. Further, a discrete wavelet transform of the image can also be used to obtain some other statistical features.

Building the feature vectors Image De-noising Image was filtered using a wiener adaptive filter and a median filter. Neighborhood model of Wavelet sub bands To capture the strong correlation that exists between the wavelet subband coefficient, we find the residual error by building a neighborhood prediction model. Discrete wavelet transform We find the distance of the sub-bands distribution from the corresponding Gaussian distribution.

Results Image denoising True Positive = 37/47 False Positive = 21/53 Neighborhood model of Wavelet sub bands True Positive = 32/47 False Positive = 11/53 Discrete wavelet transform True Positive = 34/47 False positive = 15/53
