Abstract
Patent number 12165424 is assigned to PayPal Inc. (San Jose, California, United States).The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied bythe inventors: “Image forgery detection can be the task of dete rmining whether an electronic image hasbeen manually edited and/or otherwise ta mpered with. Thus, image forgery detection can be helpful toprevent certain typ es of fraud. Some existing techniques for facilitating image forgery detection i ncludemanual inspections and automated inspections that analyze image pixels di rectly. Manual inspections thatanalyze image pixels directly usually exhibit go od fraud detection accuracy, but they are slow and expensiveto perform. Existin g automated inspections that analyze image pixels directly are much quicker thanmanual inspections, but they either are computationally expensive, have limited accuracy, and/or requiresubstantial manual post-processing. Other existing tec hniques for facilitating image forgery detectioninclude automated inspections t hat analyze image metadata, not image pixels, for traces/evidence offorgery. Ho wever, such existing automated techniques can fail since forgers can easily conc eal suchtraces/evidence of forgery in image metadata.
