HF-Detect A Hybrid Detector for Manipulated Face Detection*

The recent advancement of fake face creation and fake face generation motivates the development of an excellent fake face detection method that can effectively detect the difference between fake and real. Various fake detection methods are available with adequate performance, but the limitation of those available methods is they are not performing well with highly compressed images with degraded quality. Manipulation of face images is getting advanced, and becoming difficult to trust the content over the media, and generating and detection should go parallelly to balance society. Therefore we are proposing a novel approach to solve this problem which uses the hybrid model HF-Detect, which combines the advantage of the Xception network along with the F
