3DDGD: 3d deepfake generation and detection using 3d face meshes
Published in IEEE Access, 2025
3D face technology offers stronger security than 2D methods in biometric authentication. This study enhances 3D facial systems against deepfakes by demonstrating the superiority of 3D over 2D, creating a real/fake 3D face dataset, and developing deepfake detection models using MLP, self-attention, and TabTransformer. Results show that 3D face meshes significantly improve deepfake detection robustness.
