This article, co-written by A. De Rosa, F. Uccheddu, A. Costanzo, A. Piva and M. Barni, proposes a system for the detection of the dependencies between a set of images sharing similar or identical contents. Given the pronounced effect that images posted on the Web have on opinions and bias in the networked age we live in, such an analysis could be extremely useful for understanding the role of pictures in the opinion forming process. This paper has been presented at Media Forensics and Security XII Conference, IS&T/SPIE Electronic Imagining 2010on January 17-21, 2010 in San Jose, California, USA.

This paper, co-written by F. Uccheddu, A. De Rosa, A. Piva and M. Barni, proposes a proper experimental methodology to make a deeper-than-usual analysis of the performance of resampling detectors. The suggested framework has been applied to two of the most popular resampling detectors proposed so far. It has been presented at 18th European Signal Processing Conference on August 23-27 2010 in Aalborg, Denmark.

This paper co-written by M. Barni, A. Costanzo and L. Sabatini has been presented at IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems on May 30th-June 2nd 2010 in Paris, France. This article proposes two approaches to the detection of photomontages obtained by means of cut & paste operation. The proposed methods rely on the presence in the tampered areas of artifacts typical of double JPEG compressed images with de-synchronized DCT grids.
