Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Gan Fingerprint Removal Approach in Fooling Deepfake Face Detection

Deep neural networks are able to generate stunningly realistic images, making it easy to fool both technology and humans into distinguishing real images from fake ones. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) play a significant role in these successes (GANs). Various studies have shown that combining features from different domains can produce effective results. However, the challenges lie in detecting these fake images, especially when modifications or removal of GAN components are involved. In this research, we analyse the high-frequency Fourier modes of real and deep network-generated images and show that Images generated by deep networks share an observable, systematic shortcoming when it comes to reproducing their high-frequency features. We illustrate how eliminating the GAN fingerprint in modified pictures' frequency and spatial spectrum might affect deep-fake detection approaches. In-depth review of the latest research on the GAN-Based Artifacts Detection Method. We empirically assess our approach to the CNN detection model using style GAN structures 140k datasets of Real and Fake Faces. Our method has dramatically reduced the detection rate of fake images by 50%. In our study, we found that adversaries are able to remove the fingerprints of GANs, making it difficult to detect the generated images. This result confirms the lack of robustness of current algorithms and the need for further research in this area.
