Can You Find Out Which Movie Is a Deepfake?

In the previous chapters, we explored various data formats: tabular, geospatial, text, image, and acoustic, while working with Kaggle datasets, learning about shapefile visualization, building models for image or text classification, and acoustic signal analysis.

In this chapter, we will introduce video data analysis. We will start by describing a Kaggle competition, Deepfake Detection Challenge. This competition challenged the participants to classify which videos were generated artificially to create realistic fake content convincingly. We will continue by quickly exploring the most used video formats, followed by introducing two utility scripts used for our data analysis. First, a utility script with functions for manipulating video content, i.e., reading, visualizing images from videos, and playing video files. Second, a utility script with functions for body, face, and face element detection. We will continue with metadata exploration...
