Abstract

The pervasive availability of the Internet, coupled with the development of increasingly powerful technologies, has led digital images to be the primary source of visual information in nowadays society. However, their reliability as a true representation of reality cannot be taken for granted, due to the affordable powerful graphics editing softwares that can easily alter the original content, leaving no visual trace of any modification on the image making them potentially dangerous. This motivates developing technological solutions able to detect media manipulations without a prior knowledge or extra information regarding the given image. At the same time, the huge amount of available data has also led to tremendous advances of data-hungry learning models, which have already demonstrated in last few years to be successful in image classification. In this work we propose a deep learning approach for tampered image classification. To our best knowledge, this the first attempt to use the deep learning paradigm in an image forensic scenario. In particular, we propose a new blind deep learning approach based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) able to learn invisible discriminative artifacts from manipulated images that can be exploited to automatically discriminate between forged and authentic images. The proposed approach not only detects forged images but it can be extended to localize the tampered regions within the image. This method outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of accuracy on CASIA TIDE v2.0 dataset. The capability of automatically crafting discriminant features can lead to surprising results. For instance, detecting image compression filters used to create the dataset. This argument is also discussed within this paper.
