Abstract
In recent years, Source printer identification has become increasingly important for detecting forged documents. A printer's distinguishing feature is its fingerprints. Each printer has a unique collection of fingerprints on every printed page. A model for identifying the source printer and classifying the questioned document into one of the printer classes is provided by source printer identification. A paper proposes a new approach that trains three different approaches on the dataset to choose the more accurate model for determining the printer's source. In the first, some pre-trained models are used as feature extractors, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to classify the generated features. In the second, we construct a two-dimensional convolutional neural network (2D-CNN) to address the Source Printer Identification (SPI) problem. Instead of SoftMax, 2D-CNN is employed for feature extractors and SVM as a classifier. This approach obtains 93.75% 98.5% accuracy for 2D-CNN-SVM in the experiments. The SVM classifier enhanced the 2D-CNN accuracy by roughly 5% over the initial configuration. Finally, we adjusted 13 already-pre-trained CNN architectures using the dataset. Among the 13 pre-trained CNN models, DarkNet-19 has the greatest accuracy of 99.2 %. On the same dataset, the suggested approaches achieve well in terms of classification accuracy than the other recently released algorithms.
