MMFD-Net: A Novel Network for Image Forgery Detection and Localization via Multi-Stream Edge Feature Learning and Multi-Dimensional Information Fusion

With the rapid advancement of image processing techniques, digital image forgery detection has emerged as a critical research area in information forensics. This paper proposes a novel deep learning model based on Multi-view Multi-dimensional Forgery Detection Networks (MMFD-Net), designed to simultaneously determine whether an image has been tampered with and precisely localize the forged regions. By integrating a Multi-stream Edge Feature Learning module with a Multi-dimensional Information Fusion module, MMFD-Net employs joint supervised learning to extract semantics-agnostic forgery features, thereby enhancing both detection performance and model generalization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MMFD-Net achieves state-of-the-art results on multiple public datasets, excelling in both pixel-level localization and image-level classification tasks, while maintaining robust performance in complex scenarios.
