Image Copy-Move Forgery Detection via Deep Cross-Scale PatchMatch
The recently developed deep algorithms achieve promising progress in the field of image copy-move forgery detection (CMFD). However, they have limited generalizability in some practical scenarios, where the copy-move objects may not appear in the training images or cloned regions are from the background. To address the above issues, in this work, we propose a novel end-to-end CMFD framework by integrating merits from both conventional and deep methods. Specifically, we design a deep cross-scale patchmatch method tailored for CMFD to localize copy-move regions. In contrast to existing deep models, our scheme aims to seek explicit and reliable point-to-point matching between source and target regions using features extracted from high-resolution scales. Further, we develop a manipulation region location branch for source/target separation. The proposed CMFD framework is completely differentiable and can be trained in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the high generalizability of our method to different copy-move contents, and the proposed scheme achieves significantly better performance than existing approaches.
