Patent number: 12106216Abstract: Detection of synthetic content in portrait videos, e.g., deep fakes, is achieved. Detectors blindly utilizing deep learning are not effective in catching fake content, as generative models produce realistic results. However, biological signals hidden in portrait videos which are neither spatially nor temporally preserved in fake content, can be used as implicit descriptors of authenticity. 99.39% accuracy in pairwise separation is achieved. A generalized classifier for fake content is formulated by analyzing signal transformations and corresponding feature sets. Signal maps are generated, and a CNN employed to improve the classifier for detecting synthetic content. Evaluation on several datasets produced superior detection rates against baselines, independent of the source generator, or properties of available fake content.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2023Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignees: The Research Foundation for The State University of New YorkInventors: Umur Aybars Ciftci, Ilke Demir, Lijun Yin
