Tampered images can easily be used for illegal activities, such as fake propaganda and reporting false news for political purposes. This can lead to negative impacts on society. With the improvement and development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), image manipulation technology has also been further improved, more and more retouching software in daily life adopts AI technology. Compared with the traditional means of image manipulation, the new image manipulation technology not only process images conveniently and quickly, but also improve the quality of image manipulation, the modified images could easily evade to our naked eyes’ recognition, which presents a more serious challenge to the field of image forensics. So far there is no AI-based tampered dataset. Most scholars propose that the lack of authentic datasets seriously affects the development of image forensics field. To address this challenge, we proposed a dataset-IPM15K. It uses the most advanced image processing technology and contains a total of 150,00 doctored vital images. This dataset also could serve as a catalyst for progressing many vision tasks, e.g., localization, segmentation, and alpha-matting, etc.
Examples of our proposed dataset, which is a novel dataset based on AI technology. These images are made by pixel-level target extraction and pasting to the host image. If no corresponding MASK is available, can you find out where the image is tampered with?
