A Machine Learning Method for Detecting the Trace of Seam Carving

Image retargeting is a manipulation approach for resizing the images while aiming to keep the image distortion at a low level. Detecting image retargeting is of importance in image forensics or sometimes of importance in checking the originality. The aim of this paper is to introduce a new blind det...

description Image retargeting is a manipulation approach for resizing the images while aiming to keep the image distortion at a low level. Detecting image retargeting is of importance in image forensics or sometimes of importance in checking the originality.

For this purpose, a new method based on stripes at various numbers, Local Binary Pattern (LBP) transform, and energy map is introduced. The sub-images were obtained from square root of the energy map of LBP transform in the form of stripes for the feature extraction and these were evaluated in terms of several statistical features.
