Abstract: Due to the drastic increase in the generation of high-quality fake images in social networking, it is essential to design effective recognition approaches. Image/video manipulation defines any set of actions which can be carried out on digital content by the use of software editing approaches or artificial intelligence. A major kind of image and video editing comprises replicating the regions of the image, named as copy-move technique. Conventional image processing methods physically search for the pattern relevant to the replicated contents, restricting the utilization in massive classification of data. Contrastingly, the recently developed deep learning (DL) models have exhibited promising performance over the traditional models. In this aspect, this paper presents a novel intelligent deep learning based copy move image forgery detection (IDL-CMIFD) technique. The proposed IDL-CMIFD technique intends to design a DL model to classify the candidate images into two classes: original and forged/tampered and then localized the copy moved regions. In addition, the proposed IDL-CMIFD technique involves the Adam optimizer with Efficient Net based feature extractor to derive a useful set of feature vectors. Moreover, chaotic monarch butterfly optimization (CMBO) with deep wavelet neural network (DWNN) model is applied for classification purposes. The CMBO algorithm is utilized to optimally tune the parameters involved in the DWNN model in such a way that the classification performance gets improved. The performance validation of the proposed model takes place on benchmark MICC-F220, MICC-F2000, MICC-F600 datasets. A wide range of comparative analyses is performed and the results ensured the better performance of the IDL-CMIFD technique in terms of different evaluation parameters.
