We describe a new forensic technique for distinguishing between computer generated and human faces in video. This technique identifies tiny fluctuations in the appearance of a face that result from changes in blood flow. Because these changes result from the human pulse, they are unlikely to be found in computer generated imagery. We use the absence or presence of this physiological signal to distinguish computer generated from human faces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
