Recent advances in video generation models have significantly intensified the deepfake threat, yet the current deepfake video detection benchmarks remain underdeveloped. In particular, the effectiveness of image-level detectors in the video domain has not been systematically assessed.
arXiv:2607. 06254v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deepfake image detection is currently served by three fundamentally different paradigms: commercial APIs, zero-shot vision-language models (LLMs), and open-source detectors.

The paper introduces AdaGate-DF, an adaptive gated deepfake detection framework designed for low-resolution and resource-constrained environments. By leveraging image-quality cues, the system routes samples through a dual multi-exit architecture, allowing high-quality images to exit earlier and reduce computational load. Evaluations on Celeb-DF and FaceForensics++ show that AdaGate-DF outperforms existing models such as MaD-CoRN and DefakeHop++ while maintaining low inference latency and robust performance across varying resolutions and class imbalance scenarios.

The paper demonstrates that object detection benchmarks suffer from incomplete annotations, with re-annotation of COCO, Pascal VOC, Cityscapes, and KITTI revealing up to a 60% increase in detected objects, especially small, occluded, or densely packed instances. The authors propose a scalable annotation pipeline that uses multiple annotators per object to capture uncertainty and improve recall, and they introduce two new large-scale benchmarks: an uncertainty-aware detection benchmark and a label error detection benchmark based on real errors. Their findings show that benchmark performance is highly sensitive to annotation quality, yet model rankings remain largely unchanged, highlighting the need for uncertainty-aware evaluation to better reflect real-world ambiguity.
