Image Recapture Discovery Algorithms: A Survey

Pradnya Sanas, Poonam Gupta

Abstract: With the development of multimedia technology and digital devices, it is very easier to recapture image of high quality from LCD screens and the use of such recapture image in authentication can be harmful. An attacker may choose to recapture a forged image in order to hide imperfections and to increase its authenticity. To do forensic analysis of such images for evidence is very important. So detection of recapture images from set of images is very important in this case. In this paper we did survey of various recapture image detection algorithms with their pros and cons. Also we studied various features like aliasing, blurriness etc. of recaptured images, which can differentiate recapture image from original one.
