Unveiling Copy-Move Forgeries: Enhancing Detection With SuperPoint Keypoint Architecture
Open accessAbstract
The authentication of digital images poses a significant challenge due to the wide range of image forgery techniques employed, with one notable example being a copy-move forgery. This form of forgery involves duplicating and relocating segments of an image within the same image, often accompanied by geometric transformations to deceive viewers into perceiving the forged image as authentic. Furthermore, additional processing techniques like scaling, rotation, JPEG compression, and the application of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) are frequently employed to further obscure any traces of forgery, making the detection and verification process even more complex. This paper presents a novel approach for detecting copy-move forgery in digital images using the self-supervised image keypoint detector, SuperPoint. Our approach leverages the advanced capabilities of SuperPoint, which combines keypoint detection and descriptor extraction, to identify and localize copy-move forgery accurately. One important aspect of our approach is its ability to handle images with different textures, including smooth and self-similar structural images. The proposed approach is able to produce stable results in images with various attacks, making it a functional and reliable tool for detecting copy-move forgery in a diverse range of forged images. Comparative analysis with existing forgery detection methods shows the superior performance of our proposed approach. Furthermore, the computational efficiency of our algorithm enables real-time forgery detection. Our approach using SuperPoint offers an effective solution for detecting copy-move forgery in digital images, making it valuable for image forensics and authenticity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
