Idea
A real-time deepfake detection model combining spatial and frequency features for media platforms and security firms.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces SFMFNet, which uniquely integrates spatial texture and frequency artifact analysis via a gated module. It employs token-selective cross attention for effective multi-level feature fusion and uses residual-enhanced blur pooling to maintain semantic information. These innovations enable accurate, efficient, and generalizable real-time deepfake detection beyond prior single-domain or heavier models.
