Abstract

Cultural heritage preservation increasingly relies on digital forensics to ensure authenticity and consistency in heritage documentation. This study presents a digital forensic framework based on machine learning for classifying multi-device images of the historic Surabaya City Hall. The dataset was collected from nine smartphone devices and preprocessed through standardization, 360° rotational augmentation, and three filtering methods: gaussian, median, and laplacian. Three supervised algorithms (support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and logistic regression (LR)) were evaluated using accuracy, macro average, and weighted average of precision, recall, and F1-score. The results indicate that image preprocessing substantially affects model performance, with the gaussian-filtered KNN achieving the best result, reaching 92% accuracy, and balanced macro and weighted F1-scores of 0.92-0.93. Confusion-matrix analysis revealed minor misclassifications among iPhone models with similar sensor characteristics, while other devices were accurately identified. The findings confirm that gaussian filtering improves feature consistency and that KNN’s distance-based classification exhibits robustness across heterogeneous image sources. However, the study is limited to a single heritage object and a restricted number of devices, which may affect generalizability. The proposed framework provides a reproducible and interpretable method that supports digital authenticity verification and aligns with UNESCO’s vision for open, transparent cultural heritage preservation.
