An optimized dual-stream CNN with vectorized RGB–ELA inputs and CBAM attention for image forgery detection

Oct 2026 · Neural computing & applications (Print) · Vol 38 · 0 citations · 44 references

TL;DR

This work introduces a novel architecture by employing RGB and ELA of an image as a parallel stream of input for the two encoders (a lightweight neural network), primarily designed for localizing image manipulations that introduce compression inconsistencies, particularly image splicing and retouching.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DEEP LEARNING ARCHITECTURES FOR MONOCHROMATIC IMAGE COLORIZATION

Colorizing monochromatic images is crucial for enhancing the informativeness of visual data in modern information technology and computer vision systems. However, automatic colorization poses an inherently ill-posed mathematical challenge due to the multimodal nature of color distributions, where multiple valid color m...

Swin Meets EfficientNet: Lightweight Architectures for GAN-Based Face Forensics

Modern generative models, such as GANs, diffusion architectures, and autoregressive systems, now produce facial images that are nearly indistinguishable from authentic photographs. This capability makes detecting forged images increasingly difficult, raising serious concerns about identity theft, fraud, and misinformat...

A modular image manipulation localization framework using a dual-stream classifier and conditional diffusion models

Image manipulation localization (IML), the task of accurately identifying the manipulated regions within an image, remains a significant challenge. Conventional deep learning methods often struggle with generalization and adapting to new manipulation schemes. To address these limitations, a novel two-stage IML system i...
