 Synopsis

Title: Digital Image Forgery Detection

Abstract:
In today's world, lots of pictures are being edited and changed using computer tools. This causes a big
problem because it's hard to know if a picture is real or if it has been changed. To solve this, we made a
smart system called the Image Forgery Detection System (IFDS). The IFDS is like a detective for
pictures. It uses really smart techniques from computers and machines to figure out if a picture has been
messed with. It can find different kinds of changes, like copying parts of a picture, adding things, fixing
things, or painting over things.
We trained the IFDS by showing it lots of different pictures that were
changed in many ways. This helps it learn how to spot all kinds of tricks people might use to fake a
picture. When we tested the IFDS, it did really well. It could find fake pictures with high accuracy and
didn't get fooled by common problems like weird spots or different lighting. It also worked great with
all sorts of picture sizes and types. This smart system isn't just for detectives and police. It helps everyone
trust pictures they see online or in the news. Whether it's for stories, social media, or proving something
is real, the IFDS makes sure pictures are honest, even with all the fancy tools people use to change them.
Objectives:
The project focuses on these objectives, which are:

• Datasets Creation and Annotation: Create a comprehensive and diverse dataset of forged and
authentic images with accurate annotations. This dataset can serve as a benchmark for evaluating
detection techniques and may involve various types of image forgeries (e.g., copy-move, splicing,
retouching).
• Evaluation of Real-World Applications: Investigate the practicality and effectiveness of image
forgery detection techniques in real-world scenarios, such as social media content of verification.
• User-Friendly Interface: Develop a user-friendly software tool or application that integrates one or
more forgery detection techniques, making it accessible to non-experts and enabling them to
analyze images for potential forgeries efficiently.
• Evaluation of Existing Techniques: Assess and compare the performance of various image forgery
detection methods, including traditional and deep learning-based approaches, to determine their
strengths and weaknesses.

Scope:
The scope of a project focused on "Image Forgery Detection Techniques" encompasses a multifaceted
exploration of various aspects related to the identification and prevention of image manipulations. This
research end ever will involve the development and refinement of cutting-edge forgery detection
algorithms, tailored to address specific types of image forgeries, such as copy-move, splicing, or
retouching. A crucial facet of this scope entails the creation of a meticulously curated dataset of
authentic and forged images, accompanied by precise annotations, to serve as a benchmark for training
and evaluating forgery detection models.

Expected Outcome:

Study of different image forgery techniques has been done elaborately with pros and cons. Though
accuracy of detecting forgery in image using traditional methods is attained to certain level,
improvement in existing techniques is required for better accuracy. Combination of machine learning
algorithms could be a better option to yield accuracy. In future, SVM(Support Vector Classifier) can
be used along with other machine learning techniques for better results.
