Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Robust Detection of Object-Based Forgeries in Advanced Video

Abstract

Video forgery detection is a critical aspect of digital forensics, addressing the challenges posed by the manipulation of video content. This paper presents a novel approach for video forgery detection using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN). Leveraging the power of deep learning, our method aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of object-based forgery detection in advanced video sequences. In the proposed approach, we build upon the foundation of an existing method, which utilizes Convolutional Neural Networks, and introduce innovative modifications to the DCNN architecture. These modifications include data preprocessing, network architecture, and training strategies that enhance the model’s ability to detect tampered objects in video frames. We conduct experiments on the SYSU-OBJFORG dataset, the largest object-based forged video dataset to date, with advanced video encoding standards. Our DCNN-based approach is compared with the existing method, demonstrating superior performance. The results show increased accuracy and robustness in detecting object-based video forgery. This paper not only contributes to the field of video forgery detection but also underscores the potential of deep learning, particularly DCNN, in addressing the evolving challenges of digital video manipulation. The findings open avenues for future research in the localization of forged regions and the application of DCNN in lower bitrate or lower resolution video sequences.
