  /**
   * The ImageSplicingDetection class is an application that detects splicing in an image.
   * It reads an image file, performs splicing detection, and outputs the result.
   *
   * Dependencies:
   * - Requires Java AWT and ImageIO libraries.
   *
   * Usage:
   * - Specify the path to the image file in the 'imagePath' variable.
   * - The 'detectSplicing' method contains the splicing detection algorithm, which can be implemented based on specific requirements.
   * - The main method reads the image file, calls the 'detectSplicing' method, and displays the result.
   *
   * Note: This example includes a placeholder implementation for splicing detection that assumes all images are spliced.
