You can find here the implementation of the network architecture and the dataset used in our paper on digital forensics. It was accepted at the WIFS 2018 conference.
We present a method to automatically detect face tampering in videos. We particularly focus on two recent approaches used to generate hyper-realistic forged videos: deepfake and face2face. Traditional image forensics techniques are usually not well suited to videos due to their compression that strongly degrades the data. Thus, we follow a deep learning approach and build two networks, both with a low number of layers to focus on mesoscopic properties of the image. We evaluate those fast networks on both an existing dataset and a dataset we have constituted from online videos. Our tests demonstrate a successful detection for more than 98% for deepfake and 95% for face2face.
- Python 3.5
- Numpy 1.14.2
- Keras 2.1.5
If you want to use the complete pipeline with the face extraction from the videos, you will also need the following librairies :
| Set | Size of the forged image class | Size of real image class |
|---|---|---|
| Training | 5111 | 7250 |
| Validation | 2889 | 4259 |
- Training set (~150Mo)
- Validation set (~50Mo)
You can find the pretrained weight in the weights folder. The _DF extension correspond to a model trained to classify deepfake-generated images and the _F2F to Face2Face-generated images.
