Dataset Card for COMSATS Structured Video Tampering Evaluation Dataset (CSVTED)

The COMSATS Structured Video Tampering Evaluation Dataset (CSVTED) provides a three-level dataset structured by tampering quality and video complexity, designed to support research in video forensic analysis.

Dataset Details

The dataset consists of 1047 videos: 133 original + 914 tampered in various formats (avi, mp4, mov). These were captured using multiple cameras and lighting conditions (morning, noon, evening, night, fog). We includex various tampering types, both spatial and temporal:

• Frame duplication
• Deletion
• Insertion
• Copy-move
• Splicing
• Event-Object-Person (EOP) based tampering

We used SSIM and Optical Flow to select optimal positions for duplication, insertion, or deletion. This helps maintain visual consistency and avoids abrupt changes, especially by matching object motion direction.

Dataset Structure

The dataset consists of zipped video files in either avi, mp4 or mov formats.

• EOP-Frame-Deletion.zip (20 videos)
• EOP-Frame-Duplication.zip (20 videos)
• EOP-Frame-Insertion.zip (20 videos)
• Frame-Deletion.zip (260 videos)
• Frame-Duplication.zip (291 videos)
• Frame-Insertion.zip (293 videos)
• Original.zip (133 videos)
• Spatial-Tampering.zip (10 videos)
