Spatio-temporal Co-attention Fusion Network for Video Splicing Localization

Abstract: Digital video splicing has become easy and ubiquitous. Malicious users copy some regions of a video and paste them to another video for creating realistic forgeries. It is significant to blindly detect such forgery regions in videos. In this paper, a spatio-temporal co-attention fusion network (SCFNet) is proposed for video splicing localization. Specifically, a three-stream network is used as an encoder to capture manipulation traces across multiple frames. The deep interaction and fusion of spatio-temporal forensic features are achieved by the novel parallel and cross co-attention fusion modules. A lightweight multilayer perceptron (MLP) decoder is adopted to yield a pixel-level tampering localization map. A new large-scale video splicing dataset is created for training the SCFNet. Extensive tests on benchmark datasets show that the localization and generalization performances of our SCFNet outperform the state-of-the-art. Code and datasets will be available at https://github.com/multimediaFor/SCFNet.
