Image Forgery Detection Based On Parallel Convolutional Neural Networks

As a result of the advancement of software tools used in digital image processing, it has become very easy to generate fake images by applying various manipulations techniques on the original (authentic) images. These manipulated images can easily be used with malicious intentions in important fields such as law, medicine and communication. Hence, image forgery detection, determining whether an image is original or forged, is an important task. In this study, an image forgery detection system is proposed by combining three deep neural network structures in parallel, unlike the uniform deep learning methods used in image forgery detection. The proposed method has been evaluated on three different datasets, and the results clearly demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method with promising classification accuracy.
