Introduction

This repository is an implementation for End-to-End Reconstruction-Classification Learning for Face Forgery Detection presented in CVPR 2022. In the paper, we propose a novel REConstruction-Classification lEarning framework called RECCE to detect face forgeries. The code is based on Pytorch. Please follow the instructions below to get started.

Motivation

Briefly, we train a reconstruction network over genuine images only and use the output of the latent feature by the encoder to perform binary classification. Due to the discrepancy in the data distribution between genuine and forged faces, the reconstruction differences of forged faces are obvious and also indicate the probably forged regions.

Basic Requirements

Please ensure that you have already installed the following packages.

• Pytorch 1.7.1
• Torchvision 0.8.2
• Albumentations 1.0.3
• Timm 0.3.4
• TensorboardX 2.1
• Scipy 1.5.2
• PyYaml 5.3.1

Dataset Preparation

• We include the dataset loaders for several commonly-used face forgery datasets, i.e., FaceForensics++, Celeb-DF, WildDeepfake, and DFDC. You can enter the dataset website to download the original data.
• For FaceForensics++, Celeb-DF, and DFDC, since the original data are in video format, you should first extract the facial images from the sequences and store them. We use RetinaFace to do this.

Config Files

• We have already provided the config templates in config/. You can adjust the parameters in the yaml files to specify a training process. More information is presented in config/README.md.

Training

• We use torch.distributed package to train the models, for more information, please refer to PyTorch Distributed Overview.
• To train a model, run the following script in your console.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=1 --master_port 12345 train.py --config path/to/config.yaml

• --config: Specify the path of the config file.

Testing

• To test a model, run the following script in your console.

python test.py --config path/to/config.yaml

• --config: Specify the path of the config file.

Inference

• We provide the script in inference.py to help you do inference using custom data.
• To do inference, run the following script in your console.

python inference.py --bin path/to/model.bin --image_folder path/to/image_folder --device $DEVICE --image_size $IMAGE_SIZE

• --bin: Specify the path of the model bin generated by the training script of this project.
• --image_folder: Specify the directory of custom facial images. The script accepts images end with .jpg or .png.
• --device: Specify the device to run the experiment, e.g., cpu, cuda:0.
• --image_size: Specify the spatial size of input images.
• The program will output the fake probability for each input image like this:

  path: path/to/image1.jpg           | fake probability: 0.1296      | prediction: real
  path: path/to/image2.jpg           | fake probability: 0.9146      | prediction: fake
  

• Type python inference.py -h in your console for more information about available arguments.
