Syllabus
The topic of this seminar is Image Forgery (also known as Forensic Imaging).

In this seminar we will study methods of detecting forged images (what type of forgery was performed and
where in the image)  as well as methods to determine camera source of an image. Recent new technologies
go beyond image tampering and completely synthesize new fake images. We will study methods

For creating these new images as well as forgery detection methods for distinguishing between them and natural images.

    this will be part of their final grade). Please note that officially excused students who miss more than 2 lessons

    meetings should cancel their participation in the course and do so by the end of the first week of the semester.

2) Each student must give an oral presentation on the topic assigned to him/her.
    Presentations are given individually (not in pairs).
    The topics and papers will be assigned at the first seminar meeting. Note that the choice of topic determines
    the date and time of the presentation.
    Note also that the presentation slides must be submitted to me (email) by Thursday evening before the
