A bibliography on blind methods for identifying image forgery

Verifying the integrity of digital images and detecting the traces of tampering without using any protecting pre-extracted or pre-embedded information have become an important and hot research field. The popularity of this field and the rapid growth in papers published during the last years have put considerable need on creating a complete bibliography addressing published papers in this area. In this paper, an extensive list of blind methods for detecting image forgery is presented. By the word blind we refer to those methods that use only the image function. An attempt has been made to make this paper complete by listing most of the existing references and by providing a detailed classification group. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
