Inter-frame video forgery detection using UFS-MSRC algorithm and LSTM network

Abstract

The forgery involved in region duplication is a common type of video tampering, where the traditional techniques used to detect video tampering are ineffective and inefficient for the forged videos under complex backgrounds. To overcome this issue, a novel video forgery detection model is introduced in this research paper. Initially, the input video sequences are collected from Surrey University Library for Forensic Analysis (SULFA) and Sondos datasets. Further, spatiotemporal averaging method is carried out on the collected video sequences to obtain background information with a pale of moving objects for an effective video forgery detection. Next, feature extraction is performed using the GoogLeNet model for extracting the feature vectors. Then, the Unsupervised Feature Selection with Multi-Subspace Randomization and Collaboration (UFS-MSRC) approach is used to choose the discriminative feature vectors that superiorly reduce the training time and improve the detection accuracy. Finally, long short-term memory (LSTM) network is applied for forgery detection in the different video sequences. The experimental evaluation illustrated that the UFS-MSRC with LSTM model attained 98.13% and 97.38% of accuracy on SULFA and Sondos datasets, where the obtained results are better when compared to the existing models in video forgery detection.
