Abstract

It has been noticed that the block artifact grids (BAG), caused by the blocking processing during JPEG compression, are usually mismatched when interpolating or concealing objects by copy-paste operations. In this paper, the BAGs are extracted blindly with a new extraction algorithm, and then abnormal BAGs can be detected with a marking procedure. Then the phenomenon of grid mismatch or grid blank can be taken as a trail of such forensics. Experimental results show that our method can mark these trails efficiently.
