HRFNet: High-Resolution Forgery Network for Localizing Satellite Image Manipulation

Fahim Faisal Niloy, Kishor Kumar Bhaumik, Simon S. Woo

Existing high-resolution satellite image forgery localization methods rely on patch-based or downsampling-based training. Both of these training methods have major drawbacks, such as inaccurate boundaries between pristine and forged regions, the generation of unwanted artifacts, etc. To tackle the aforementioned challenges, inspired by the high-resolution image segmentation literature, we propose a novel model called HRFNet to enable satellite image forgery localization effectively. Specifically, equipped with shallow and deep branches, our model can successfully integrate RGB and resampling features in both global and local manners to localize forgery more accurately. We perform various experiments to demonstrate that our method achieves the best performance, while the memory requirement and processing speed are not compromised compared to existing methods.
