A Video Splicing Forgery Detection and Localization Algorithm Based on Sensor Pattern Noise

Abstract

Video splicing forgery is a common object-based intra-frame forgery operation. It refers to copying some regions, usually moving foreground objects, from one video to another. The splicing video usually contains two different modes of camera sensor pattern noise (SPN). Therefore, the SPN, which is called a camera fingerprint, can be used to detect video splicing operations. The paper proposes a video splicing detection and localization scheme based on SPN, which consists of detecting moving objects, estimating reference SPN, and calculating signed peak-to-correlation energy (SPCE). Firstly, foreground objects of the frame are extracted, and then, reference SPN are trained using frames without foreground objects. Finally, the SPCE is calculated at the block level to distinguish forged objects from normal objects. Experimental results demonstrate that the method can accurately locate the tampered area and has higher detection accuracy. In terms of accuracy and F1-score, our method achieves 0.914 and 0.912, respectively.
