Abstract

We propose a new method to detect re-sampled imagery. The method is based on examining the normalized energy density present within windows of varying size in the second derivative of the frequency domain, and exploiting this characteristic to derive a 19-dimensional feature vector that is used to train a SVM classifier. Experimental results are reported on 7,500 raw images from the BOSS database. Comparison with prior work reveals that the proposed algorithm performs similarly for re-sampling rates greater than 1, and is superior to prior work for re-sampling rates less than 1. Experiments are performed for both bilinear and bicubic interpolation, and qualitatively similar results are observed for each. Results are also provided for the detection of re-sampled imagery that subsequently undergoes JPEG compression. Results are quantitatively similar with some small degradation in performance as the quality factor is reduced.
