In this research, X_myKarve’s framework is introduced to address the fragmentation issues that occur in JPEG images. The framework consists of six steps namely, dataset acquisition and preparation, pre-processing, work instruction generation, image carving and reconstitution, image completeness validation and fragmentation handling.
