MRI-GAN: A Generalized Approach to Detect DeepFakes using Perceptual Image Assessment
share
DeepFakes are synthetic videos generated by swapping a face of an original image with the face of somebody else. In this paper, we describe our work to develop general, deep learning-based models to classify DeepFake content. We propose a novel framework for using Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based models, we call MRI-GAN, that utilizes perceptual differences in images to detect synthesized videos. We test our MRI-GAN approach and a plain-frames-based model using the DeepFake Detection Challenge Dataset. Our plain frames-based-model achieves 91 MRI-GAN framework with Structural Similarity Index Measurement (SSIM) for the perceptual differences achieves 74 preliminary and may be improved further by modifying the choice of loss function, tuning hyper-parameters, or by using a more advanced perceptual similarity metric.
