These forged images are so devious that it is impossible to predict with the naked eye. Such images are used to spread misleading information in society with the help of various social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. Hence, there is an urgent need for effective forgery detection techniques. In order to validate the credibility of these techniques, publically available and more credible standard datasets are required. A few datasets are available for image splicing, such as Columbia, Carvalho, and CASIA V1.0. However, these datasets are employed for the detection of image splicing. There are also a few custom datasets available such as Modified CASIA, AbhAS, which are also employed for the detection of image splicing forgeries. A study of existing datasets used for the detection of image splicing reveals that they are limited to only image splicing and do not contain multiple spliced images. This research work presents a Multiple Image Splicing Dataset, which consists of a total of 300 multiple spliced images. We are the pioneer in developing the first publicly available Multiple Image Splicing Dataset containing high-quality, annotated, realistic multiple spliced images. In addition, we are providing a ground truth mask for these images. This dataset will open up opportunities for researchers working in this significant area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data6100102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,28]],"date-time":"2021-09-28T12:29:14Z","timestamp":1632832154000},"page":"102","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Multiple Image Splicing Dataset (MISD): A Dataset for Multiple Splicing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Kalyani Dhananjay","family":"Kadam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Symbiosis Institute of Technology, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune 412115, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8554-2129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Swati","family":"Ahirrao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Symbiosis Institute of Technology, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune 412115, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2653-3780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ketan","family":"Kotecha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Symbiosis Centre for Applied Artificial Intelligence, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune 412115, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Machado, C., Kira, B., Narayanan, V., Kollanyi, B., and Howard, P.
