Most commercial digital cameras acquire the colors of an image through the color filter array, and interpolate missing pixels of the image. Because of this fact, original pixels and interpolated pixels have different statistical characteristics. If colors of an image are modified, the color filter array pattern that consists of RGB channels is changed. Using this pattern change, a color forgery detection method were presented. The conventional method uses the number of pixels that exceeds the maximum or minimum value of pre-defined block by only exploiting green component. However, this algorithm cannot remove the flat area which is occurred when color is changed. And the conventional method has demerit that cannot detect the forged image with rare green pixels. In this paper, we propose an enhanced color forgery detection algorithm using the normalization and weighted sum of the color components. Our method can reduce the detection error by using all color components and removing flat area. Through simulations, we observe that our proposed method shows better detection performance compared to the conventional method.

With the advent of cell phone digital cameras, and sophisticated photo editing software, digital images can be easily manipulated and altered. Although good forgeries may leave no visual clues of having been tampered with, they may, nevertheless, alter the underlying statistics of an image. Most digital camera equipped in cell phones employ a single image sensor in conjunction with a color filter array (CFA), and then interpolates the missing color samples to obtain a three channel color image. This interpolation introduces specific correlations which are likely to be destroyed when tampering with an image. We quantify the specific correlations introduced by CFA interpolation, and describe how these correlations, or lack thereof, can be automatically detected in any portion of an image. We show the efficacy of this approach in revealing traces of digital tampering in lossless and lossy compressed color images interpolated with several different CFA algorithms in test cell phones.

In this paper, we present a new method that can detect forged color region using color pattern decomposition and hypothesis testing approach. On the basis of the fact that the variance of the interpolated pixel is smaller than that of the original pixel, we use a statistical test method to judge the statistical inconsistency of variance. For this, we calculate the variance adopting a color pattern decomposition according to the demosaicking pattern. In addition, we apply high-pass filtering to enlarge the difference between the variances of original and interpolated pixel. Through experimental simulations, we can see that our proposed method can effectively detect forged color regions and shows superior detection performance compared to the conventional method.

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.

Conventional Color-Based Face Recognition Methods are Sensitive to Illumination Changes, and there are the Possibilities of Forgery and Falsification so that it is Difficult to Apply to Various Industrial Fields. In This Paper, we propose a Face Recognition Method Based on LBP(Local Binary Pattern) using the Depth Images to Solve This Problem. Face Detection Method Using Depth Information and Feature Extraction and Matching Methods for Face Recognition are implemented, the Simulation Results show the Recognition Performance of the Proposed Method.
