SegWave: Wavelet-Driven Segmentation of Tampered Regions

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 31, 2026 · UTC

Verifying image authenticity is increasingly difficult, posing serious risks across journalism, law enforcement, and political domains. Most existing forensic methods rely on high-level visual artifacts and treat frame detection as a simple binary task. To address this, we propose SegWave, a hybrid framework that jointly leverages spatial and frequency-domain cues for image tampering detection. SegWave integrates a transformer-based architecture with the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) to capture localized, multi-scale frequency inconsistencies indicative of manipulation.
