Dual encoder network with efficient channel attention refinement module for image splicing forgery detection

In the realm of picture forensics, it might be difficult to find and locate an image-splicing forgery. To improve the accuracy of the picture forensic evaluation, we introduce a dual encoder network (DAE-Net) with an efficient channel attention (ECA) module. The ECA module creates a fusion approach with an attention mechanism that enables the model to concentrate on local objects' tampering characteristics and increases the accuracy of multi-region tampering identification. We suggest combining a dual-coding network with a multi-scale dilated convolutional feature fusion module to better detect small target tampering zones. Experimental evidence suggests that DAE-Net outperforms state-of-the-art methods. The attack experiments also demonstrate the DEA-Net model's stability and noise resistance.
