In this paper, prominent keypoint based features are compared in order to analyze their reliability and efficiency against forgery detection. Four features specifically SURF, KAZE, Harris corner points and BRISK features are used individually on a set of images. The method includes four phases: Image pre-processing, keypoint detection, feature vector description and feature vector matching. In feature matching, MaxRatio has been chosen as a varying parameter for calculating values of false positives and false negatives for each feature. MaxRatio defines the ratio for rejecting ambiguous matches of feature descriptors in the images. The optimal threshold value for MaxRatio is calibrated with the help of trade-off between detection accuracy and false positive ratio. The changes in false negative ratio and false positive ratio are picturized in order to find out optimal threshold for detection accuracy. ROC curves are also plotted for each feature at different values of MaxRatio and area under the ROC curves are calculated. The experiments are performed on two benchmark datasets, namely CASIA version 2.0 and MICC-F600. It has been perceived from experimental outcomes that KAZE features gave best values for all the performance metrics namely accuracy, precision, area under the ROC curve and F1-score with little compromise in time complexity, whereas Harris corner points gave the worst results as compared to rest of the features. Further, in order to improve the execution time, the computation of non-linear scale space process in KAZE can be simplified and GPU programming for real-time performance may also be used.
