Using Grayscale Frequency Statistic to Detect Manipulated Faces in Wavelet-Domain

[Code For Paper 'Using Grayscale Frequency Statistic to Detect Manipulated Faces in Wavelet-Domain']

Overview

Our proposed approach consists of 4 parts: 1) extracting frames from video datasets, then detecting and aligning faces in extracted frames; 2) utilizing Haar Wavelet to obtain low-frequency approximate (it is termed as cA), horizontal detail (cH), vertical detail (cV) and diagonal detail (cD) images; 3) analyzing the differences of the GFS between the fake and real facial images in these four subband images; 4) evaluating the detection performance with binary classifiers and using GFS differences to weight the classification results to obtain weighted classification results.

Experiment Environment

Our source development env is shown in requirements.txt

pip install -r requirements.txt

To facilitate experiments on a specific dataset, the code of each dataset is divided into the corresponding folders

#1) Prepare Datasets

Download Original Datasets

Download the original datasets to the corresponding original_datasets folder.

Preprocess the Videos

For all video datasets (including DeepfakeTIMIT, UADFV, FF++_DF, FF++_F2F, DFD, DFDC and CelebDF(V2)), first extract the frames

cd dataprepare\extract_frames_and_faces\
python extract_frames.py

Then, download the shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat to the extract_frames_and_faces folder. After that, extract and align faces from frames

python extract_face.py

(The extracted images can be controlled by modifying parameters in the source code)

#2) Perform 2D DWT while Dividing Datasets

Perform Haar wavelet transform on all images (the facial images extracted from the videos or the images completely generated by GANs) to obtain four subband images (cA, cH, cV and cD,). The corresponding 60% of each subband is divided into the training set, 20% into the validation set, and 20% into the test set (Both save in dwt_datasets folder).

cd dataprepare
python prepare_dwt_datasets.py

Note that only images from the training set are used.

Prevent Data Leakage

For all video datasets, ensure that the images in the training set, validation set, and testing set will not come from the same video.

python PreventDL.py

#3) GFS and GFS Differences Perform grayscale frequency statistic on the four subband images after wavelet transformation of true and fake images

cd "GFS"
python grayscale_frequency_statistic.py

The results folder obtained after execution saves the statistical plots of GFS and GFS differences, as well as the diff_mean_std.json file that quantifies the GFS differences.

#4) Train CNNs with Four Subbands

Train Meso-4 Net

cd train_and_test
python train_Meso4.py

Train Xception Net

python train_Xception.py

Specify which subband ('cA/', 'cH/', 'cV/', 'cD/') is used for training through the spec_feature parameter. Other training parameters also can be adjusted, depending on your situation.

#5) Test

Test with Subbands

After training and saving the model on the four subbands, the detection performance on each subband can be tested

cd train_and_test
python test_with_subbands.py

Specify the network ('Meso4', 'Xce') used for testing through the network parameter.

Text with Weights

Use the quantized GFS differences of the four subbands to weight the four networks for testing

python test_with_weights.py
