Detecting fake videos using trained classifiers on distinct characteristics
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11961282B2) outlines a method and system for training a system to detect fake videos. The method involves creating a training set with real and fake videos, identifying distinct characteristics in each video, extracting these characteristics, down-sampling them, and training a weak classifier to detect irregularities in the characteristics to predict if a test video is fake. The system includes a database with real and fake videos, a server with processors to identify distinct characteristics, extract and down-sample them, and train the weak classifier to detect irregularities and generate a prediction result based on the distinct characteristics.
Furthermore, the method and system involve additional steps such as removing blurred frames and up-sampled frames from fake videos before training the weak classifier, as well as training the weak classifier to detect irregularities in characteristics like head movement, mouth features, and audio gain. The system also includes training multiple weak classifiers to generate prediction results based on different distinct characteristics and down-sampled versions, ultimately leading to the training of a strong classifier to determine the authenticity of test videos based on these prediction results. The strong classifier is trained to assign weights to each prediction result, enhancing the accuracy of detecting fake videos based on the identified distinct characteristics and irregularities.
