Abstract

The rapid evolution of generative artificial intelligence has significantly transformed the way image and video content is produced. Deepfake facial recognition, a prominent example, has become a research hotspot in computer vision and multimedia security. However, its potential for widespread application also carries the risk of potential misuse, sparking continued attention from both academia and industry. This paper systematically reviews the face forgery detection technology based on deep learning. With the development of artificial intelligence technologies such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and diffusion models, face forgery content has brought about serious security and ethical issues while bringing application possibilities. Traditional image forensics methods rely on manual features and have limited generalization ability, while deep learning significantly improves detection performance through end-to-end feature learning. This paper reviews and analyzes the principles and characteristics of mainstream detection methods from the perspectives of physiological signal features, image tampering traces, GAN generation features and image-level learning strategies, and summarizes the challenges that the current models still face in terms of generalization ability and anti-interference ability. Finally, the future research directions such as cross-domain detection framework, multi-modal fusion and active defense are proposed.
