The DeepFake, which generates synthetic content, has sparked a revolution in the fight against deception and forgery. However, most existing DeepFake detection methods mainly focus on improving detection performance with high-quality data while ignoring low-quality synthetic content that suffers from high compression. To address this issue, we propose a novel High-Frequency Enhancement framework, which leverages a learnable adaptive high-frequency enhancement network to enrich weak high-frequency information in compressed content without uncompressed data supervision. The framework consists of three branches, i.e., the Basic branch with RGB domain, the Local High-Frequency Enhancement branch with Block-wise Discrete Cosine Transform, and the Global High-Frequency Enhancement branch with Multi-level Discrete Wavelet Transform. Among them, the local branch utilizes the Discrete Cosine Transform coefficient and channel attention mechanism to indirectly achieve adaptive frequency-aware multi-spatial attention, while the global branch supplements the high-frequency information by extracting coarse-to-fine multi-scale high-frequency cues and cascade-residual-based multi-level fusion by Discrete Wavelet Transform coefficients. In addition, we design a Two-Stage Cross-Fusion module to effectively integrate all information, thereby greatly enhancing weak high-frequency information in low-quality data. Experimental results on FaceForensics++, Celeb-DF, and OpenForensics datasets show that the proposed method outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods and can effectively improve the detection performance of DeepFakes, especially on low-quality data. The code is available here.

Abstract
The DeepFake, which generates synthetic content, has sparked a revolution in the fight against deception and forgery. However, most existing DeepFake detection methods mainly focus on improving detection performance with high-quality data while ignoring low-quality synthetic content that suffers from high compression. To address this issue, we propose a novel High-Frequency Enhancement framework, which leverages a learnable adaptive high-frequency enhancement network to enrich weak high-frequency information in compressed content without uncompressed data supervision. The framework consists of three branches, i.e., the Basic branch with RGB domain, the Local High-Frequency Enhancement branch with Block-wise Discrete Cosine Transform, and the Global High-Frequency Enhancement branch with Multi-level Discrete Wavelet Transform. Among them, the local branch utilizes the Discrete Cosine Transform coefficient and channel attention mechanism to indirectly achieve adaptive frequency-aware multi-spatial attention, while the global branch supplements the high-frequency information by extracting coarse-to-fine multi-scale high-frequency cues and cascade-residual-based multi-level fusion by Discrete Wavelet Transform coefficients. In addition, we design a Two-Stage Cross-Fusion module to effectively integrate all information, thereby greatly enhancing weak high-frequency information in low-quality data. Experimental results on FaceForensics++, Celeb-DF, and OpenForensics datasets show that the proposed method outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods and can effectively improve the detection performance of DeepFakes, especially on low-quality data. The code is available here.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
