A PatchMatch-based Dense-field Algorithm for Video Copy-Move Detection and Localization

We propose a new algorithm for the reliable detection and localization of video copy-move forgeries. Discovering well crafted video copy-moves may be very difficult, especially when some uniform background is copied to occlude foreground objects. To reliably detect both additive and occlusive copy-moves we use a dense-field approach, with invariant features that guarantee robustness to several post-processing operations. To limit complexity, a suitable video-oriented version of PatchMatch is used, with a multiresolution search strategy, and a focus on volumes of interest. Performance assessment relies on a new dataset, designed ad hoc, with realistic copy-moves and a wide variety of challenging situations. Experimental results show the proposed method to detect and localize video copy-moves with good accuracy even in adverse conditions

Self-Supervised Transformer with Domain Adaptive Reconstruction for General Face Forgery Video Detection

Face forgery videos have caused severe social public concern, and various detectors have been proposed recently. However, most of them are trained in a supervised manner with limited generalization when detecting videos from different forgery methods or real source videos. To tackle this issue, we explore to take full advantage of the difference between real and forgery videos by only exploring the common representation of real face videos. In this paper, a Self-supervised Transformer cooperating with Contrastive and Reconstruction learning (CoReST) is proposed, which is first pre-trained only on real face videos in a self-supervised manner, and then fine-tuned a linear head on specific face forgery video datasets. Two specific auxiliary tasks incorporated contrastive and reconstruction learning are designed to enhance the representation learning. Furthermore, a Domain Adaptive Reconstruction (DAR) module is introduced to bridge the gap between different forgery domains by reconstructing on unlabeled target videos when fine-tuning. Extensive experiments on public datasets demonstrate that our proposed method performs even better than the state-of-the-art supervised competitors with impressive generalization
