Abstract: Recent advances in GAN fingerprint have shown increasing success in fake face attribution. However, the fake faces are usually compressed during network transmission, which causes the degradation of GAN fingerprint and the decrease of attribution accuracy. To this issue, a dual-domain multi-model GAN fingerprint restoration method for compressed fake face attribution is proposed in this paper. Firstly, considering that image-domain and fingerprint-domain are directly and indirectly affected by compression respectively, we propose a dual-domain parallel restoration architecture that enhances GAN fingerprint using direct image-domain and indirect fingerprint-domain restoration, thereby improving attribution performance by mining the cross-domain complementarity. Secondly, since real and fake GAN-speciffc restoration models can describe GAN fingerprint from different aspects, we first enhance GAN fingerprint by multiple restoration models, and then improve attribution performance by exploiting the cross-model complementarity through the multi-model restoration fusion strategy. Experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method under different compression qualities.
