Architecture used

Domain Adaptation in action

• Source : Half of images from the Splicing category of DEFACTO
• Target : Other half of the images from the Splicing category of DEFACTO, compressed to JPEG with a quality factor of 5%

To have a quick idea of the adaptation impact on the training phase, we selected a batch of size 512 from the target and, we represented the evolution of the final embeddings distributions from this batch during the training according to the setups SrcOnly and Update($\sigma=8$) described in the paper. The training relative to the SrcOnly setup is on the left meanwhile the one relative to Update($\sigma=8$) is on the right.

Don't hesitate to click on the gif below to see it better !

• As you can observe, in the SrcOnly setup, the forgery detector is more and more prone to false alarms, certainly because compressing images to QF5 results in creating artifacts in the high frequencies that can be misinterpreted by the model. However, it has no real difficulty to identify correctly the forged images.

• In parallel, in the Update setup, the forgery detector is more informed and make less false alarms during the training.

Discrepancies with the first version of our article

Several modifications have been carried out since the writing of this paper in order to :

• Generate databases as most clean as possible
• Make our results as most reproducible as possible
• Reduce effectively computation time and memory space

Considering that remark, you will not exactly retrieve the results we shared in the first version of the paper with the implementation proposed here. Nevertheless, the results we got from this new implementation are comparable with the previous ones and you should obtain similar results as the ones shared in this page.
