In the context of globalization and the development of Information Technology, the manipulation of information and digital images is becoming an increasingly complex and profound issue. There is an increasing trend of manipulation of digital content that can have a significant impact on various aspects of life, including political, economic, and social. The phenomenon of deepfakes, fake news distribution, and image / visual data manipulation is increasingly becoming a worldwide concern, requiring proactive and innovative approaches to counter these threats.
Recent research shows that digital image protection and authentication efforts need further attention. The success of conventional methods is increasingly being tested, while the demand for innovation to deal with technological developments that can be used for manipulation is increasingly urgent. Several studies have explored image manipulation detection techniques, such as watermark analysis and the use of artificial intelligence to identify manipulation patterns. However, there are still many challenges that need to be overcome, including the development of effective, fast, and widely adopted methods by a research team from Diponegoro University, together with assoc. Prof. Ferda ernawan from university malaysia pahang (UMP), plans to establish a research collaboration.
By delving deeper into current issues related to information manipulation and digital imagery, we understand the urgency of this collaboration and believe that joint research with Universiti Malaysia Pahang will have a positive impact on understanding and addressing these issues at an international level. This cooperation has been started since January 2024 and will end in January 2026, where currently there will be initiation of matching-fund research cooperation between Diponegoro University (Undip) and UMP. This activity was carried out on November 13 – 19, 2024 and resulted in an agreement on research cooperation and joint publication of 2 articles in 2025 and 2026 contained in the document ‘Research Collaboration Agreement’
