Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) is considered the most effective trace for the image source attribution task. Its uniqueness ensures that the sensor pattern noises extracted from different cameras are strongly uncorrelated, even when…
Source camera identification tools assist image forensic investigators to associate an image in question with a suspect camera. Various techniques have been developed based on the analysis of the subtle traces left in the images during the…
The photoresponse non-uniformity (PRNU) is a camera-specific pattern, widely adopted to solve multimedia forensics problems such as device identification or forgery detection. The theoretical analysis of this fingerprint customarily relies…
Camera fingerprints are precious tools for a number of image forensics tasks. A well-known example is the photo response non-uniformity (PRNU) noise pattern, a powerful device fingerprint. Here, to address the image forgery localization…
PRNU-based image processing is a key asset in digital multimedia forensics. It allows for reliable device identification and effective detection and localization of image forgeries, in very general conditions. However, performance impairs…
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…
The principle of Photo Response Non Uniformity (PRNU) is often exploited to deduce the identity of the smartphone device whose camera or sensor was used to acquire a certain image. In this work, we design an algorithm that perturbs a face…
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…
In the field of forensic imaging, it is important to be able to extract a 'camera fingerprint' from one or a small set of images known to have been taken by the same camera. Ideally, that fingerprint would be used to identify an individual…
This communication is about an application of image forensics where we use camera sensor fingerprints to identify source camera (SCI: Source Camera Identification) in webcam/smartphone videos. Sensor or camera fingerprints are based on…
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…
The PNU is an essential and reliable tool to perform SCI and, during the years, became a standard de-facto for this task in the forensic field. In this paper, we show that, although strategies exist that aim to cancel, modify, replace the…
In the era of AIGC, the fast development of visual content generation technologies, such as diffusion models, bring potential security risks to our society. Existing generated image detection methods suffer from performance drop when faced…
Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) based source camera attribution is an effective method to determine the origin camera of visual media (an image or a video). However, given that modern devices, especially smartphones, capture images,…
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…
Camera fingerprints based on sensor PhotoResponse Non-Uniformity (PRNU) have gained broad popularity in forensic applications due to their ability to univocally identify the camera that captured a certain image. This fingerprint of a given…
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…
Source device identification is an important topic in image forensics since it allows to trace back the origin of an image. Its forensics counter-part is source device anonymization, that is, to mask any trace on the image that can be…
Image sensors are integral to a wide range of safety- and security-critical systems, including surveillance infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation. These systems rely on the integrity of visual data to make…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have become incredibly powerful in generating synthetic images. Of particular concern are generated images that resemble photographs as they aspire to represent real world events. Synthetic photographs may…
