Recently the GAN generated face images are more and more realistic with high-quality, even hard for human eyes to detect. On the other hand, the forensics community keeps on developing methods to detect these generated fake images and try to guarantee the credibility of visual contents. Although researchers have developed some methods to detect generated images, few of them explore the important problem of generalization ability of forensics model. As new types of GANs are emerging fast, the generalization ability of forensics models to detect new types of GAN images is absolutely an essential research topic. In this paper, we explore this problem and propose to use preprocessed images to train a forensic CNN model. By applying similar image level preprocessing to both real and fake training images, the forensics model is forced to learn more intrinsic features to classify the generated and real face images. Our experimental results also prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Apart from the forensics of DeepFake, some work focus on the detection of GAN generated images @cite_13 @cite_11 @cite_14 @cite_20 . In @cite_13 , the authors present a study on the detection of images translation from GANs. But some of them show dramatic impairments on Twitter-like compressed images. Shahroz @cite_11 use ensemble classifiers to detect fake face images created by GANs. A method based on color statistical features is proposed in @cite_14 , and several detection schemes are designed according to the practicability. Nhu-Tai @cite_20 proposed another model based on convolutional neural network to detect gernerated face images, which is based on transfer learning from a deep face recognition network. These image forensics methods can perform well on test dataset that is homologous to the training dataset.

Image forensics is an increasingly relevant problem, as it can potentially address online disinformation campaigns and mitigate problematic aspects of social media. Of particular interest, given its recent successes, is the detection of imagery produced by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), e.g. deepfakes'. Leveraging large training sets and extensive computing resources, recent work has shown that GANs can be trained to generate synthetic imagery which is (in some ways) indistinguishable from real imagery. We analyze the structure of the generating network of a popular GAN implementation, and show that the network's treatment of color is markedly different from a real camera in two ways. We further show that these two cues can be used to distinguish GAN-generated imagery from camera imagery, demonstrating effective discrimination between GAN imagery and real camera images used to train the GAN. Despite recent advances in face recognition using deep learning, severe accuracy drops are observed for large pose variations in unconstrained environments. Learning pose-invariant features is one solution, but needs expensively labeled large-scale data and carefully designed feature learning algorithms. In this work, we focus on frontalizing faces in the wild under various head poses, including extreme profile view's. We propose a novel deep 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) conditioned Face Frontalization Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), termed as FF-GAN, to generate neutral head pose face images. Our framework differs from both traditional GANs and 3DMM based modeling. Incorporating 3DMM into the GAN structure provides shape and appearance priors for fast convergence with less training data, while also supporting end-to-end training. The 3DMM-conditioned GAN employs not only the discriminator and generator loss but also a new masked symmetry loss to retain visual quality under occlusions, besides an identity loss to recover high frequency information. Experiments on face recognition, landmark localization and 3D reconstruction consistently show the advantage of our frontalization method on faces in the wild datasets. 1 Due to the significant advancements in image processing and machine learning algorithms, it is much easier to create, edit, and produce high quality images. However, attackers can maliciously use these tools to create legitimate looking but fake images to harm others, bypass image detection algorithms, or fool image recognition classifiers. In this work, we propose neural network based classifiers to detect fake human faces created by both 1) machines and 2) humans. We use ensemble methods to detect GANs-created fake images and employ pre-processing techniques to improve fake face image detection created by humans. Our approaches focus on image contents for classification and do not use meta-data of images. Our preliminary results show that we can effectively detect both GANs-created images, and human-created fake images with 94 and 74.9 AUROC score. Generative adversarial network (GAN) has shown its powerful capability in generating photorealistic images. Although the generated images can fool human eyes, it is not clear whether they can evade the detection of forensic detectors, which aim to identify the originality and authenticity of images. In this paper, we investigate how forensic detectors perform in differentiating between GAN generated images and real images. We consider two kinds of approaches, one is intrusive and the other is non-intrusive, based on whether the GAN architecture is needed for performing detection. We have conducted extensive experiments on a celebrity face image dataset to evaluate the effectiveness of different approaches. The results and analyses show that the intrusive approach can detect GAN generated images but with a relatively high false alarm rate. The non-intrusive approach with features extracted from a VGG network is very effective for detecting GAN generated images when the training data is sufficient, but it still faces challenge when the training data and testing data are mismatched.
