text: Computer-generated graphics (CGs) are images generated by computer software. The rapid development of computer graphics technologies has made it easier to generate photorealistic computer graphics, and these graphics are quite difficult to distinguish from natural images (NIs) with the naked eye. In this paper, we propose a method based on sensor pattern noise (SPN) and deep learning to distinguish CGs from NIs. Before being fed into our convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model, these images—CGs and NIs—are clipped into image patches. Furthermore, three high-pass filters (HPFs) are used to remove low-frequency signals, which represent the image content. These filters are also used to reveal the residual signal as well as SPN introduced by the digital camera device. Different from the traditional methods of distinguishing CGs from NIs, the proposed method utilizes a five-layer CNN to classify the input image patches. Based on the classification results of the image patches, we deploy a majority vote scheme to obtain the classification results for the full-size images. The experiments have demonstrated that (1) the proposed method with three HPFs can achieve better results than that with only one HPF or no HPF and that (2) the proposed method with three HPFs achieves 100 accuracy, although the NIs undergo a JPEG compression with a quality factor of 75.
  @cite_6: Due to present of enormous free image and video editing software on the Internet, tampering of digital images and videos have become very easy. Validating the integrity of images or videos and detecting any attempt of forgery without use of active forensic technique such as Digital Signature or Digital Watermark is a big challenge to researchers. Passive forensic techniques, unlike active techniques, do not need any preembeded information about the image or video. The proposed paper presents a comprehensive review of the recent developments in the field of digital image and video forensic using noise features. The previously existing methods of image and video forensics proved the importance of noises and encourage us for the study and perform extensive research in this field. Moreover, in this paper, forensic task cover mainly source identification and forgery detection in the image and video using noise features. Thus, various source identification and forgery detection methods using noise features are reviewed and compared in this paper for image and video. The overall objective of this paper is to give researchers a broad perspective on various aspects of image and video forensics using noise features. Conclusion part of this paper discusses about the importance of noise features and the challenges encountered by different image and video forensic method using noise features.
  @cite_2: Nowadays, forensic analysis of digital images is especially important, given the frequent use of digital cameras in mobile devices. The identification of the device type or the make and model of image source are two important branches of forensic analysis of digital images. In this paper we have addressed both of these, with an approach based on different types of image features and the classification using support vector machines. The study has mainly focused on images created with mobile devices and as a result, the techniques and features have been adapted or created for this purpose. There have been a total of 36 experiments classified into 5 sets, in order to test different configurations of the techniques. In the configuration of the experiments, the future use of the technique by the forensic analyst in real situations to create experiments with high technical requirements was taken into account, amongst other things.
summary: Different digital cameras introduce different noise to their output digital images. The main noise sources are due to the imperfection of CCD or CMOS sensors. It has been named as sensor pattern noise (SPN) and is used as a fingerprint to characterize an individual camera. In particular, SPN has been used in image forgery detection @cite_6 and source camera identification @cite_2 .
