<![CDATA[Digital image forgery has become a critical concern in the era of advanced multimedia technologies, where the authenticity of visual content directly affects trust in digital communication, journalism, and law enforcement. Among various forgery techniques, copy-move forgery (CMF) is among the most common and deceptive, as it involves duplicating a region of an image to conceal or misrepresent information. To address this challenge, numerous copy-move forgery detection (CMFD) approaches have been proposed, ranging from block-based and keypoint-based methods to hybrid models and deep learning (DL) techniques. This paper provides a comprehensive review of these approaches, analyzing their strengths and limitations, and evaluating their performance across multiple benchmark datasets. The evaluation considers factors such as image resolution, manipulation types, and robustness against post-processing attacks. By systematically comparing the algorithms and datasets, the study highlights persistent challenges and outlines future research directions. The findings aim to guide researchers in selecting appropriate techniques and inspire the development of more robust CMFD solutions.]]>
