The paper introduces Motion‑Aware Deepfake (MAD) videos, a new class of deepfakes generated by pose‑guided diffusion models that can animate entire human figures. To study this threat, the authors build the first MAD‑specific benchmark with 1.5 million frames from 1,363 real and 30,122 synthetic videos, and analyze the subtle high‑frequency artifacts and spectral fingerprints that arise from limited input frames. Leveraging these insights, they propose MoDA, a defense framework that combines spatial semantics with steganalysis‑rich frequency features, achieving high detection and attribution accuracy across in‑distribution, cross‑dataset, and zero‑shot scenarios, and demonstrating robustness against adaptive attacks.

This paper presents an interpretable deepfake detection framework that explicitly encodes physically grounded forensic cues to analyze spatially and temporally coherent facial features in video sequences. The method transforms videos into identity-consistent facial trajectories, segments them into fixed-length temporal windows, and represents each frame with 68 structured descriptors across photometric, textural, geometric, and compression domains. These descriptors are processed by an LSTM to capture temporal dependencies, achieving strong F1-scores on four benchmark datasets and demonstrating robust cross-dataset generalization.

The paper investigates whether detailed articulated human pose provides more discriminative power than coarse spatial relationships for early violence detection. By fixing the downstream pipeline and comparing five interaction representations—including bounding‑box geometry, handcrafted pose analogues, enriched pose descriptors, and a learned joint encoder—the study finds that pose‑based representations do not outperform coarse geometry. When visual encoders are frozen and evaluated on larger datasets, person‑crop appearance and whole‑frame context outperform geometry, but cropping to interacting people offers no advantage over encoding the entire frame. The authors further demonstrate that pre‑onset frames contain source‑related artifacts (e.g., title cards, watermarks) that contribute significantly to discrimination, suggesting that benchmark performance may reflect these artifacts rather than true event evidence.

WildHSR introduces a lightweight adaptation of 3D foundation models to jointly recover metric cameras, scene geometry, and persistent person identities from monocular video. By generating pseudo‑scale labels from curated web footage and fine‑tuning a Scale Readout, the method predicts metric scale directly from foundation‑model tokens. It also exploits intermediate query‑key features to associate per‑frame bodies, enabling feed‑forward reconstruction that outperforms state‑of‑the‑art optimization‑based methods on several benchmarks while running at 10.1 fps.

The paper introduces a biologically inspired framework that learns object‑centric visual representations from raw videos without human annotations or camera calibration. By using motion boundaries detected via optical flow and clustering to create pseudo‑instance masks, the method supervises a single‑image encoder with pixel‑level pairwise metric learning. Training on 195 million pseudo‑labeled frames and expanding to 421 million frames through Motion‑Verified Self‑Training, the approach yields Swin‑based encoders that outperform or match supervised and self‑supervised baselines on tasks such as monocular depth estimation, 3D object detection, 3D occupancy prediction, and end‑to‑end planning.
