A multiscale attention network model utilizing ResNext architecture for detection and localization of image splicing attack
摘要
Digital images are widely used in modern life as one of the most prominent forms of communication and information medium. The cost and level of competence needed to take advantage of image tampering have significantly decreased due to the widespread availability of different photo editing software. Splicing is a form of forgery on digital images where segments of two or more pictures are combined to create a new synthetic image, many times aimed towards spreading of false propaganda through social media platforms, hence often misleading individuals or certain communities. This work proposes a novel deep learning-based technique utilizing the Multiscale Attention Network and the ResNext architecture to detect spliced region(s) in a forged image efficiently. Our enhanced model leverages the multiscale information and attention mechanism and ResNext’s powerful feature extraction capabilities. With this integration, the network can handle complex forging tasks like varying picture sizes and quality and improve splicing localization accuracy. Through comprehensive experiments on benchmark datasets, we have shown that our model consistently achieves an impressive accuracy of over
