TLDR
This paper proposes a novel approach for detecting median filtering in digital images, which can accurately detect Median filtering in arbitrary images, even reliably detect median filters in low-resolution and JPEG compressed images; and reliably detect tampering when part of a Median filter is inserted into a nonmedian-filtered image, or vice versa.
Abstract
Exposing the processing history of a digital image is an important problem for forensic analyzers and steganalyzers. As the median filter is a popular nonlinear denoising operator, the blind forensics of median filtering is particularly interesting. This paper proposes a novel approach for detecting median filtering in digital images, which can 1) accurately detect median filtering in arbitrary images, even reliably detect median filtering in low-resolution and JPEG compressed images; and 2) reliably detect tampering when part of a median-filtered image is inserted into a nonmedian-filtered image, or vice versa. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is exhaustively evaluated in five different image databases.

An Overview on Image Forensics

TL;DR: The aim of this survey is to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the area of image forensics by classifying the tools according to the position in the history of the digital image in which the relative footprint is left: acquisition- based methods, coding-based methods, and editing-based schemes.

Robust Median Filtering Forensics Using an Autoregressive Model

TL;DR: A new, robust median filtering forensic technique that operates by analyzing the statistical properties of the median filter residual (MFR), which is defined as the difference between an image in question and a median filtered version of itself.

Steganalysis of LSB matching in grayscale images

TL;DR: Two novel ways of applying the histogram characteristic function (HCF), introduced by Harmsen for the detection of steganography in color images but ineffective on grayscale images, are introduced: calibrating the output using a downsampled image and computing the adjacency histogram instead of the usual histogram.
