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.

arXiv:2606. 23825v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Efficient small object detection is bottlenecked by the inherent feature scarcity of tiny targets, which is further aggravated by operations of spatial-domain detectors that indiscriminately discard critical high-frequency details.
Spectra is a deepfake detection framework that uses implicit neural representations (INRs) to analyze how an image is reconstructed, producing multi-level reconstruction heatmaps. These heatmaps are fused with semantic visual features via a bidirectional mechanism, enabling the model to detect forgery cues that are less tied to specific generation pipelines. Experiments on several deepfake benchmarks show that Spectra outperforms detectors relying only on RGB appearance or semantic representations, and it also extends to face presentation attack detection.
