Abstract

This paper presents passive blind forgery detection to identify frame duplication attack in Moving Picture Experts Group-4 (MPEG-4) video. In this attack, one or more frames are copied and pasted at other location in the same video to hide or highlight particular activity. Since the tampered frames are from the same video, their statistical properties are uniform, which makes challenging to identify duplicate frames. In this paper, a two-step algorithm is proposed, in which the suspicious frames are identified, their features are extracted and compared with other frames of the test video to take the decision. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) key-points are used as feature for comparison. Finally, Random Sample Consensus algorithm is used to locate duplicate frames. The proposed method is tested on compressed and uncompressed videos with variable compression rate. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is competent to detect the tampered frames with 99.8% average accuracy. Comparative analysis is made for the proposed method with existing methods with respect to parameters Precision Rate (PR), Recall Rate (RR), Detection Accuracy (DA). The average values of PR, RR, and DA for the proposed method are 99.9%, 99.7%, 99.8% respectively, which are better than other methods. The proposed method needs average 33 seconds of simulation time, which is less as compared to other methods.
