Abstract

This study aims to enhance the visual quality of deepfake videos by utilizing image recognition technology integrated with DeepFaceLab and DeepFaceLive software. Using an experimental approach with exploratory and quantitative characteristics, the research involves structured stages of deepfake generation, facial feature analysis, and detection evaluation. The Deepfake Detection Challenge (DFDC) dataset serves as the primary training and testing source. The evaluation was conducted using Cosine Similarity, Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) to assess visual consistency and quality. The results show high feature similarity and minimal distortion between original and manipulated videos, demonstrating the system's effectiveness in producing realistic and high-quality deepfakes, especially in visually complex contexts such as music videos.

Keywords Deepfake, DFDC, face swapping, video synthesis, image recognition, SSIM, PSNR, Cosine Similarity Introduction.

References

The template will number citations consecutively within brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]—do not use “Ref. [3]” or “reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first ...” Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table footnotes.

Unless there are six authors or more give all authors’ names; do not use “et al.”. Papers that have not been published, even if they have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication should be cited as “in press” [5]. Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns and element symbols.

For papers published in translation journals, please give the English citation first, followed by the original foreign-language citation [6].
