An Enhanced Deep Learning-Based DeepFake Video Detection and Classification System

Abstract

The privacy of individuals and entire countries is currently threatened by the widespread use of face-swapping DeepFake models, which result in a sizable number of fake videos that seem extraordinarily genuine. Because DeepFake production tools have advanced so much and since so many researchers and businesses are interested in testing their limits, fake media is spreading like wildfire over the internet. Therefore, this study proposes five-layered convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for a DeepFake detection and classification model. The CNN enhanced with ReLU is used to extract features from these faces once the model has extracted the face region from video frames. To guarantee model accuracy while maintaining a suitable weight, a CNN enabled with ReLU model was used for the DeepFake-detection-influenced video. The performance evaluation of the proposed model was tested using Face2Face, and first-order motion DeepFake datasets. Experimental results revealed that the proposed model has an average prediction rate of 98% for DeepFake videos and 95% for Face2Face videos under actual network diffusion circumstances. When compared with systems such as Meso4, MesoInception4, Xception, EfficientNet-B0, and VGG16 which utilizes the convolutional neural network, the suggested model produced the best results with an accuracy rate of 86%.
