Abstract: Digital images are widely spread in today’s world and morphing of these images are also increased. Morphing of the images is the process of changing original image into another image using different tools. In social media the invasion of these morphed images are rapidly increasing and traditionally, the tampered images were found by the pixel comparison method. This way of detection leads to complexity and space consumption. pHash is used in this system as hashing algorithm.We effectively proposing a new and sophisticated technique to find morphed images using the features of pHash algorithm.
