Survey of video behavior recognition by Huilan LUO, Chanjuan WANG, Fei LU

“…Behavior recognition is developing rapidly,and a number of behavior recognition algorithms based on deep network automatic learning features have been proposed.The deep learning method requires a large number of data to train,and requires higher computer storage and computing power.After a brief review of the current popular behavior recognition method based on deep network,it focused on the traditional behavior recognition methods.Traditional behavior recognition methods usually followed the processes of video feature extraction,modeling of features and classification.Following the basic process,the recognition process was overviewed according to the following steps,feature sampling,feature descriptors,feature processing,descriptor aggregation and vector coding.At the same time,the benchmark data set commonly used for evaluating the algorithm performance was also summarized.…”

Deepfake swapped face detection based on double attention by Xiaojuan GONG, Tianqiang HUANG, Bin WENG, Feng YE, Chao XU, Lijun YOU

“…In view of the existing Deepfake detection algorithms, such problems as low accuracy and poor interpretability are common.A neural network model combining the double attention was proposed, which used channel attention to capture the abnormal features of false faces and combined the location of spatial attention to focus the abnormal features.To fully learn the contextual semantic information of the abnormal part of the false face, so as to improve the effectiveness and accuracy of face changing detection.In addition, the decision-making area of real and fake faces was shown effectively in the form of thermal diagram, which provided a certain degree of explanation for the face exchange detection model.Experiments on FaceForensics ++ open source data set show that the detection accuracy of proposed method is superior to MesoInception, Capsule-Forensics and XceptionNet.…”
