Abstract

Generative AI (GenAI) can generate high-resolution and complex content mimicking the creativity of humans, thereby benefiting industries such as gaming, entertainment, and product design. In recent times, AI-generated fake videos, commonly referred to as deepfakes, have become more commonplace and convincing. An additional deepfake technique, face warping, uses digital processing to noticeably distort shapes on a face. Tracking such warping in images and videos is crucial and preventing its use for destructive purposes. A technique is proposed for detecting and localizing face warped areas in video. The input video is extracted to perform various image pre-processing techniques that refine the video into a format that is more likely to classify the classes efficiently. Transfer learning is employed, and the pre-trained model is adopted to train using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with the source videos to identify face warping. Based on the experimental results, it was determined that the proposed model detects and localizes the warped areas of the face satisfactorily with an accuracy of 89.25%.
