: We are undoubtedly living in an age where we are exposed to a remarkable array of visual imagery. While we may have historically had confidence in the integrity of this imagery, today’s digital technology has begun to erode this trust. From the tabloid magazines to the fashion industry, main-stream media outlets, scientific journals, political campaigns, courtrooms, and the photo hoaxes that land in our email in-boxes, doctored photographs are appearing with a growing frequency and sophistication. Over the past five years, the field of digital forensics has emerged to help return some trust to digital images. Here I review the state of the art in this new and exciting field. Digital watermarking has been proposed as a means by which an image can be authenticated (see, for example, [21, 5] for general surveys). The drawback of this approach is that a watermark must be inserted at the time of recording, which would limit this approach to specially equipped digital cameras. In contrast to these approaches, passive techniques for image forensics operate in the absence of any watermark or signature. These techniques work on the assumption that although digital forgeries may leave no visual clues of having been tampered with, they may alter the underlying statistics of an image. The set of image forensic tools can be roughly categorized into five categories: (1) pixel-based techniques detect statistical anomalies introduced at the pixel level; (2) format-based techniques leverage the statistical correlations introduced by a specific lossy compression scheme; (3) camera-based techniques exploit artifacts introduced by the camera lens, sensor or on-chip post-processing; (4) physically-based techniques explicitly model and detect anomalies in the three dimensional interaction between physical objects, light, and the camera; and (5) geometric-based techniques make measurements of objects in the world and their positions relative to the camera. I have selected several representative forensic tools within each of these categories to review. In so doing, I have undoubtedly omitted some worthy papers. My hope, however, is that this survey offers a representative sampling of the emerging field of image forgery detection.
