Abstract
In this paper to detect image forgery, two standard methods, Key point based method and block based method, are combined to form a two fold method which gives more accuracy. This method first use segmentation method that is used in block based method. Features are extracted on these small patches of segmentation; by means of key points based method. Then these patches are compared with each other and distance is measured between them. If two patches have same distance then a region of image is copied and paste on the same image and the image is forged. This process is done in two segments to ensure good and accurate detection. A good and reliable working of the algorithm is ensured by comparing the proposed algorithm with some state of the art standard public available datasets.
