An Agentic ENF Framework for Forensic Video Authentication Against Generative AI

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces an ENF-based forensic framework for authenticating videos against generative AI. It extracts electric network frequency signals from both audio and rolling‑shutter video, uses a synthetic‑injection training method grounded in real recordings, and verifies claimed recording times via reference matching. The authors find that ENF flicker alone cannot prove authenticity; instead, consistency with an independent reference is required, achieving high accuracy while reducing computational cost.

Mind the Rift: Cross-Scale Coupling Mismatch for AI-Generated Video Detection

The paper introduces RIFT, a forensic framework for detecting AI-generated videos by exploiting a cross‑scale coupling mismatch between macro‑level temporal dynamics and micro‑level pixel residuals. RIFT comprises a macro stream that models expected temporal evolution, a micro stream that probes residual patterns, and a coupling divergence module that quantifies their conditional dependency. Experiments on VidProM and GenVidBench show near‑perfect F1‑scores and robust performance across different encoders.

Stop My Dancing! Understanding, Detecting and Attributing Motion-Aware Deepfake Videos

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.

ManiVid: Unified and Explainable Forensic Analysis of Manipulated Videos

ManiVid introduces a unified forensic analysis framework for manipulated videos, combining forgery detection, artifact grounding, and anomaly explanation. The authors release ManiVid-38K, a large dataset of 19K real‑fake video pairs with authenticity labels, forgery masks, and explanations, and a benchmark ManiVidBench with 1K balanced pairs. ManiVidLens, the proposed model, outperforms existing methods in artifact grounding and anomaly explanation while matching state‑of‑the‑art detection accuracy.

Selfie-Capture Dynamics as an Auxiliary Signal Against Deepfakes and Injection Attacks for Mobile Identity Verification

The paper investigates whether passive motion traces recorded during selfie capture can serve as an auxiliary signal for detecting spoofing and verifying users in mobile remote identity verification systems. It introduces the CanSelfie dataset, comprising 375 multi‑sensor sequences from 30 participants, and evaluates seven time‑series classifiers and eight anomaly detectors across various sensor configurations. Results show that accelerometer‑only classifiers achieve very low false rejection rates, while certain models achieve low false acceptance rates and high verification accuracy, indicating that selfie‑capture motion is a promising low‑friction evidence channel.
