This is the author's personal implementaion of the core two-stream model from Generalizing Face Forgery Detection with High-frequency Features (CVPR 2021).

For more details, please refer to the original [paper].

In this paper, we find that current CNN-based detectors tend to overfit to method-specific color textures and thus fail to generalize. Observing that image noises remove color textures and expose discrepancies between authentic and tampered regions, we propose to utilize the high-frequency noises for face forgery detection.

We carefully devise three functional modules to take full advantage of the high-frequency features.

• The first is the multi-scale high-frequency feature extraction module that extracts high-frequency noises at multiple scales and composes a novel modality.
• The second is the residual-guided spatial attention module that guides the low-level RGB feature extractor to concentrate more on forgery traces from a new perspective.
• The last is the cross-modality attention module that leverages the correlation between the two complementary modalities to promote feature learning for each other.

The two-stream model is shown as follows.

The model is implemented with PyTorch.

Thank you all for using this repo! I've received several emails regarding to the implementation and reproducing issues. Here I list some tips that might be useful :).

• Training and testing are conducted following the specifications in FaceForensics++ paper.
• The training datasets can be downloaded and created following the official instructions of FaceForensics++.
• The cross-dataset performance is largely influenced by the training data scale and training time. I found that the GPU version, the training batchsize, and the distributing setting also have impacts on the performance. Please refer to the detailed specifications in the paper.
