Robust Deepfake Detection: Mitigating Spatial Attention Drift via Calibrated Complementary Ensembles

2026-04-28 · Minh-Khoa Le-Phan, Minh-Hoang Le, Trong-Le Do, Minh-Triet Tran arxiv

Current deepfake detection models achieve state-of-the-art performance on pristine academic datasets but suffer severe spatial attention drift under real-world compound degradations, such as blurring and severe lossy compression. To address this vulnerability, we propose a foundation-driven forensic framework that integrates an extreme compound degradation engine with a structurally constrained, multi-stream architecture. During training, our degradation pipeline systematically destroys high-frequency artifacts, optimizing the DINOv2-Giant backbone to extract invariant geometric and semantic priors. We then process images through three specialized pathways: a Global Texture stream, a Localized Facial stream, and a Hybrid Semantic Fusion stream incorporating CLIP. Through analyzing spatial attribution via Score-CAM and feature stability using Cosine Similarity, we quantitatively demonstrate that these streams extract non-redundant, complementary feature representations and stabilize attention entropy. By aggregating these predictions via a calibrated, discretized voting mechanism, our ensemble successfully suppresses background attention drift while acting as a robust geometric anchor. Our approach yields highly stable zero-shot generalization, achieving Fourth Place in the NTIRE 2026 Robust Deepfake Detection Challenge at CVPR. Code is available at https://github.com/khoalephanminh/ntire26-deepfake-challenge.
