Abstract

The article proposes a method for combined detection of deepfakes based on the ensemble of several deep learning models that differ as much as possible in their properties. The method involves the use of ResNet, EfficientNet and MobileNe models. The integral result of the combination is formed by averaging the partial detection probabilities. The results of an experimental study are presented, demonstrating the advantages of the synthesized method when working with heterogeneous types of deepfakes.
