- Abstract: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are a valuable asset for a wide variety
of tasks. In the last few years, many websites have been offering them for free
in the form of easy to manage products, favoring their widespread diffusion and
research work in the SAR field. The drawback of these opportunities is that
such images might be exposed to forgeries and manipulations by malicious users,
raising new concerns about their integrity and trustworthiness. Up to now, the
multimedia forensics literature has proposed various techniques to localize
manipulations in natural photographs, but the integrity assessment of SAR
images was never investigated. This task poses new challenges, since SAR images
are generated with a processing chain completely different from that of natural
photographs. This implies that many forensics methods developed for natural
images are not guaranteed to succeed. In this paper, we investigate the problem
of amplitude SAR imagery splicing localization. Our goal is to localize regions
of an amplitude SAR image that have been copied and pasted from another image,
possibly undergoing some kind of editing in the process. To do so, we leverage
a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to extract a fingerprint highlighting
inconsistencies in the processing traces of the analyzed input. Then, we
examine this fingerprint to produce a binary tampering mask indicating the
pixel region under splicing attack. Results show that our proposed method,
tailored to the nature of SAR signals, provides better performances than
state-of-the-art forensic tools developed for natural images.

The vast accessibility of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images through online portals has propelled the research across various fields.
Vulnerability is further emphasized by the fact that most SAR products, despite their original complex nature, are often released as amplitude-only information.
In this paper we demonstrate that an expert practitioner can exploit the complex nature of SAR data to obscure any signs of manipulation within a locally altered amplitude image.
