We assess the variability of PRNU-based camera fingerprints with mismatched imaging pipelines (e.g., different camera ISP or digital darkroom software). We show that camera fingerprints exhibit non-negligible variations in this setup, which…
Previous research showed that camera specific noise patterns, so-called PRNU-patterns, are extracted from images and related images could be found. In this particular research the focus is on grouping images from a database, based on a…
Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) based camera attribution is an effective method to determine the source camera of visual media (an image or a video). To apply this method, images or videos need to be obtained from a camera to create a…
Forensic analyses of digital images rely heavily on the traces of in-camera and out-camera processes left on the acquired images. Such traces represent a sort of camera fingerprint. If one is able to recover them, by suppressing the…
Source camera identification in digital videos is the problem of associating an unknown digital video with its source device, within a closed set of possible devices. The existing techniques in source detection of digital videos try to find…
With the growing popularity of smartphone photography in recent years, web photos play an increasingly important role in all walks of life. Source camera identification of web photos aims to establish a reliable linkage from the captured…
Patch-Match is an efficient algorithm used for structural image editing and available as a tool on popular commercial photo-editing software. The tool allows users to insert or remove objects from photos using information from similar scene…
One of the most important tasks in computer vision is identifying the device using which the image was taken, useful for facilitating further comprehensive analysis of the image. This paper presents comparative analysis of three techniques…
PRNU based camera recognition method is widely studied in the image forensic literature. In recent years, CNN based camera model recognition methods have been developed. These two methods also provide solutions to tamper localization…
Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) has been used as a powerful device fingerprint for image forgery detection because image forgeries can be revealed by finding the absence of the PRNU in the manipulated areas. The correlation between an…
We investigate diagonal artifacts present in images captured by several Samsung smartphones and their impact on PRNU-based camera source verification. We first show that certain Galaxy S series models share a common pattern causing…
Camera sensor noise is one of the most reliable device characteristics in digital image forensics, enabling the unique linkage of images to digital cameras. This so-called camera fingerprint gives rise to different applications, such as…
One of the challenging problems in digital image forensics is the capability to identify images that are captured by the same camera device. This knowledge can help forensic experts in gathering intelligence about suspects by analyzing…
We propose a new statistic to improve the pooled version of the triangle test used to combat the fingerprint-copy counter-forensic attack against PRNU-based camera identification [1]. As opposed to the original version of the test, the new…
Source identification is an important topic in image forensics, since it allows to trace back the origin of an image. This represents a precious information to claim intellectual property but also to reveal the authors of illicit materials.…
In the last decade, Social Networks (SNs) have deeply changed many aspects of society, and one of the most widespread behaviours is the sharing of pictures. However, malicious users often exploit shared pictures to create fake profiles…
If the extraction of sensor fingerprints represents nowadays an important forensic tool for sensor attribution, it has been shown recently that images coming from several sensors were more prone to generate False Positives (FP) by…
iPhone portrait-mode images contain a distinctive pattern in out-of-focus regions simulating the bokeh effect, which we term Apple's Synthetic Defocus Noise Pattern (SDNP). If overlooked, this pattern can interfere with blind forensic…
Device fingerprints like sensor pattern noise (SPN) are widely used for provenance analysis and image authentication. Over the past few years, the rapid advancement in digital photography has greatly reshaped the pipeline of image capturing…
Autonomous machines must self-maintain proper functionality to ensure the safety of humans and themselves. This pertains particularly to its cameras as predominant sensors to perceive the environment and support actions. A fundamental…
