Abstract

This paper presents a spliced color image detection method using Benford' Law and color difference. For a suspicious image, after color conversion, the discrete wavelet transform and the discrete cosine transform are performed. We extract the difference between the ideal Benford distribution and the empirical Benford distribution of the suspicious image as features. The difference between Benford distributions for each color component were also used as features. Our method shows superior splicing detection performance using only 13 features. After training the extracted feature vector using SVM classifier, we determine whether the presence of the image splicing forgery. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods with smaller number of features in terms of splicing detection accuracy.

본 논문에서는 밴포드 법칙과 컬러의 차이를 이용한 영상 접합 조작 검출 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 조작이 의심되는 영상에 대하여 먼저 컬러 변환을 시행한 후, 이산 웨이블릿 변환 및 이산 코사인 변환을 수행한다. 이상적인 밴포드 분포와 의심되는 영상에 대한 밴포드 분포의 차이를 특징으로 추출한다. 아울러 컬러 성분에 대한 밴포드 분포의 차이를 특징으로 사용한다. 본 논문의 방법은 13개의 특징만으로 우수한 접합 영상 검출 성능을 보인다. 추출된 특징 벡터를 SVM(support vector machine) 분류기를 이용하여 학습한 후 영상의 접합 여부를 판별한다. 본 논문의 방법은 기존의 방법보다 적은 수의 특징으로 높은 영상 접합 조작 결과를 보임을 확인하였다.
