The proposed research explores trends and patterns in real, deepfake, and synthetic facial images using eight deep learning models. The study analyzes the performance of these models in distinguishing between the three image categories and investigates their image properties at both global and local levels. The results show that the ViT Patch-16 model excels in detecting synthetic facial images with high sensitivity, specificity, precision, and accuracy. The analysis reveals noticeable differences across the three image categories, which can inform the development of better algorithms for facial image generation.

The research investigates how to tell real, fake, and artificial facial images apart. It uses powerful computer models called deep learning models to see how well they can do this job. The study finds that one model is very good at spotting synthetic (artificial) faces, and it does better than the others at this task. By looking at both the whole image and specific parts of the image, the researchers discover some interesting patterns. This information can help create new ways to generate facial images and shows that real, fake, and artificial faces are distinct.
