The most challenging JPEG recovery tasks arise when the file header is missing. In this paper we propose to use a two layer machine learning model to restore headerless JPEG images. We first build a classifier able to identify the structural properties of the images/fragments and then use an AutoEncoder (AE) to learn the fragment features for the header prediction. We define a JPEG universal header and the remaining free image parameters (Height, Width) are predicted with a Gradient Boosting Classifier. Our approach resulted in 90% accuracy using the manually defined features and 78% accuracy using the AE features.
