Leveraging Avatar Fingerprinting: A Multi-Generator Photorealistic Talking-Head Public Database and Benchmark

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces AVAPrintDB, a new public multi‑generator talking‑head avatar database designed for avatar fingerprinting, comprising data from two audiovisual corpora and three state‑of‑the‑art generators (GAGAvatar, LivePortrait, HunyuanPortrait). It also defines a standardized benchmark that evaluates existing avatar fingerprinting systems and explores new methods based on Foundation Models such as DINOv2 and CLIP, while analyzing performance under generator and dataset shift. The authors find that identity‑related motion cues persist across synthetic avatars, yet current fingerprinting systems are highly sensitive to changes in synthesis pipelines and source domains.

The Voiceprint Fallacy: Why Voices Are Not Unique Biometric Imprints

The article critiques the notion that a person's voice is a stable, unique biometric trace—termed a voiceprint—by reviewing historical, forensic, and technological evidence. It argues that voices are highly dynamic and context-dependent, and that the voiceprint metaphor misrepresents probabilistic speaker information as a fixed identity marker. The authors emphasize that speaker recognition should account for within-speaker variability, domain mismatch, and synthetic manipulation rather than rely on an assumed stable voiceprint.
