What is it about?

Every industry that uses digital photos is concerned about image security. Forensics and public safety have long relied on suspect photos, crime scene photos, biometric photos, and other images. As digital imaging has advanced, the use of digital images iun this field has grown significantly. While digital image processing has helped to develop many new approaches in forensic research, it has also simplified image manipulation. The public availability of various snipping image manipulation software has made digital image validity a problem. It’s used as strong evidence in a variety of crimes, as well as documentation for a variety of reasons. The advancement of photo processing and editing software has simplified and made it more accessible to create and modify photographs. The most common types of picture forgery are copy-move forgery and splicing images. To conceal or display an error scenario, a portion of a photograph is duplicated and pasted further in the photograph, and splicing an image means two images in one image. This research looks at different types of digital image forgeries as well as forgery detection software. A review of existing approaches for detecting faked images was conducted.

Why is it important?

The intended change in digital images caused by automatic software has now become a simple and low-cost activity, allowing anyone to create a fake image for free. The false evidence spreads extremely quickly on the open Internet. As a result, it is simple to misrepresent reality and influence popular sentiment, both of which have negative social consequences [1]. The rapid development of powerful and low-cost editing tools has simplified the manipulation of digital media, such as adding and removing sections and objects from photos and films with little or no tampering. As a result, the controlled media will spread rapidly, potentially with significant national and global implications. Furthermore, it is far too difficult for them to maintain their integrity and authenticity [2]. In the medical field, for example, clinicians make critical decisions based on digital photos; in law enforcement agencies and courtrooms, the reliability of photographs is critical when used as evidence [3]. It is easier to manipulate an image without leaving any trace, regardless of the various professional experts and software tools available around the world. With an increase in image forgery and its consequences, developing new image forgery detection techniques is critical [4].
