Description
Summary:Synthetic images ar---e created using computer graphics modeling and artificial intelligence techniques, referred to as deepfakes. They modify human features by using generative models and deep learning algorithms, posing risks violations of social media regulations and spread false information. To address these concerns, the study proposed an improved generative adversarial network (GAN) model which improves accuracy while differentiating between real and fake images focusing on data augmentation and label smoothing strategies for GAN training. The study utilizes a dataset containing human faces and employs DCGAN (deep convolutional generative adversarial network) as the base model. In comparison with the traditional GANs, the proposed GAN outperform in terms of frequently used metrics ., Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) and accuracy. The model effectiveness is demonstrated through evaluation on the Flickr-Faces Nvidia dataset and Fakefaces d--ataset, achieving an FID score of 55.67, an accuracy of 98.82%, and an F1-score of 0.99 in detection. This study optimizes the model parameters to achieve optimal parameter settings. This study fine-tune the model parameters to reach optimal settings, thereby reducing risks in synthetic image generation. The article introduces an effective framework for both image manipulation and detection.
