There are multiple techniques to spot image fraud. This work proposes a new approach to detect attacks that mimic Copy-Move forgeries. The proposed method applies DWT on the input image to create a reduced dimensional representation of the image. After that, the compressed image is divided into overlapping blocks. After these blocks are sorted, phase correlation is utilized as a similarity criterion to find duplicate blocks. Due to DWT usage, the lowest-level picture representation is first employed for detection. This work also covers the examination of numerous limits that are imposed to the input image, and the results are used in the analysis that follows. 2025 2025 72 78 10.54216/JAIM.090107 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/28/show/3821
