Abstract

Seam carving is a form of content-aware image modification. This modification can vary from resizing to clipping of content within an image. This can be easily used to alter images to achieve steganographic goals or the propagation of misleading information. Deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks have become prolific in today’s image-based intelligent systems. However, it has been found that convolutional networks specialized for image classification tend to perform poorly for steganalysis—specifically seam carving. In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network architecture which is able to learn the nuances of seam carved images.
