ABSTRACT

Now-a-days biometric systems are useful in recognizing person’s identity but criminals change
their appearance in behaviour and psychological to deceive recognition system. To overcome from
this problem we are using new technique called Deep Texture Features extraction from images
and then building train machine learning model using CNN (Convolution Neural Networks)
algorithm. This technique refer as LBP Net or NLBP Net as this technique heavily dependent on
features extraction using LBP (Local Binary Pattern) algorithm. In this project we are designing
LBP Based machine learning Convolution Neural Network called LBPNET to detect fake face
images. Here first we will extract LBP from images and then train LBP descriptor images with
Convolution Neural Network to generate training model. Whenever we upload new test image then
that test image will be applied on training model to detect whether test image contains fake image
or non- fake image. Below we can see some details on LBP. Local binary patterns (LBP) is a type
of visual descriptor used for classification in computer vision and is a simple yet very efficient
texture operator which labels the pixels of an image by thresholding the neighborhood of each
pixel and considers the result as a binary number. Due to its discriminative power and
computational simplicity, LBP texture operator has become a popular approach in various
applications. It can be seen as a unifying approach to the traditionally divergent statistical and
structural models of texture analysis. Perhaps the most important property of the LBP operator in
real- world applications is its robustness to monotonic gray-scale changes caused, for example, by
illumination variations. Another important property is its computational The feature vector can now
be processed using the Support vector machine.

1. INTRODUCTION

Recently, the generative model based on deep learning such as the generative adversarial
net (GAN) is widely used to synthesize the photo-realistic partial or whole content of the image
and video. Furthermore, recent research of GANs such as progressive growth of GANs
(PGGAN)[1] and Big GAN could be used to synthesize a highly photo-realistic image or video
so that the human cannot 20 recognize whether the image is fake or not in the limited time.
In general, the generative applications can be used to perform the image translation tasks
[3]. However, it may lead to a serious problem once the fake or synthesized image is improperly
used on social network or platform. For instance, cycle GAN is used to synthesize the fake face
image in a pornography video [4]. Furthermore, GANs may be used to create a speech video with
the synthesized facial content of any famous politician, causing severe problems on the society,
political, and commercial activities. Therefore, an effective fake face image detection technique
is desired. In this paper, we have extended our previous study associated with paper ID #1062 to
effectively and efficiently address these issues.

In traditional image forgery detection approach, two types of forensics scheme are widely used:
active schemes and passive schemes. With the active schemes, the externally additive signal (i.e.,
watermark) will be embedded in the source image without visual artifacts. In order to identify
whether the image has tampered or not, the watermark extraction process will be performed on the
target image to restore the watermark [6]. The extracted watermark image can be used to localize
or detect the tampered regions in the target image. However, there is no "source image" for the
generated images by GANs such that the active image forgery detector cannot be used to extract
the watermark image. The second one-passive image forgery detector–uses the statistical
information in the source image that will be highly consistency be information can be used to detect
the fake region in the image. In addition, such a supervised learning strategy will tend to learn the
discriminative features for a fake image generated by each GANs. In this situation, the learned
detector may not be effective for the fake image generated by another new GAN excluded in the
training phase. In order to meet the massive requirement of the fake image detection for GANs-
based generator, we propose novel network architecture with a pairwise learning approach, called
common fake feature network (CFFN). Based on our previous approach, it is clear that the pairwise
learning approach can overcome the shortcomings of the supervised learning-based CNN such as
methods in [9][10].
