Abstract
In today’s modern era, ensuring the authenticity of pictures is crucial. This article presents a straightforward method for identifying fake pictures using the widely used OpenCV and MD5 technologies. OpenCV helps us examine pictures for irregularities such as abnormal colors or shapes, while MD5 is a unique digital fingerprint for each image. Our approach combines these tools to create a robust fraud detection system. OpenCV carefully examines various aspects of pictures, flagging potential areas of manipulation. In addition, MD5 generates a unique code or hash that effectively represents the entire image. We tested our method on various datasets containing both genuine and fake pictures. The results demonstrate that our system accurately detects manipulated regions and verifies authenticity by comparing unique MD5 hashes. This research provides a practical solution for ensuring image integrity in law, medicine, and interactive media.
Keywords: Digital images, image forgery, authenticity, conventional techniques, OpenCV, detecting fraud, and MD5
