Frame Duplication Forgery Detection in Surveillance Video Sequences Using Textural Features

Abstract

Frame duplication forgery is the most common inter-frame video forgery type to alter the contents of digital video sequences. It can be used for removing or duplicating some events within the same video sequences. Most of the existing frame duplication forgery detection methods fail to detect highly similar frames in the surveillance videos. In this paper, we propose a frame duplication forgery detection method based on textural feature analysis of video frames for digital video sequences. Firstly, we compute the single-level 2-D wavelet decomposition for each frame in the forged video sequences. Secondly, textural features of each frame are extracted using the Gray Level of the Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Four second-order statistical descriptors, Contrast, Correlation, Energy, and Homogeneity, are computed for the extracted textural features of GLCM. Furthermore, we calculate four statistical features from each frame (standard deviation, entropy, Root-Mean-Square RMS, and variance). Finally, the combination of GLCM’s parameters and the other statistical features are then used to detect and localize the duplicated frames in the video sequences using the correlation between features. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms other state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods in terms of Precision, Recall, and F1Score rates. Furthermore, the use of statistical features combined with GLCM features improves the performance of frame duplication forgery detection.
