Functionality Overview

​
Accessing Reality Defender

  • Users can scan mentions for authenticity by clicking on a mention card in the system.
  • Scanning can be triggered by selecting either the mention title or mention thumbnail Mention card showing title and thumbnail click areas for Reality Defender scanning
  • Scan results are available within minutes in the Reality Defender module on the lefthand side of the PeakMetrics dashboard.

​
Detection Methodology

Image Detection Reality Defender utilizes an Image Detector Ensemble that aggregates results from four distinct models to generate a comprehensive fakeness score:
  1. Diffusion Model - Identifies fake images created using diffusion methods.
  2. Faceswaps Model - Detects facial manipulations from face-swapping techniques.
  3. GANs Model - Identifies artificially generated or manipulated faces.
  4. Visual Noise Analysis - Examines texture inconsistencies to detect fake images.

​
Language Support

  • Reality Defender currently only processes English-language content.

​
Image Dependency

  • The tool requires thumbnails with faces to function properly.
  • If a mention lacks a thumbnail or the thumbnail does not contain a recognizable face, Reality Defender will not be able to process it.

​
Thumbnail Absence

  • If a mention does not include a thumbnail, the scan cannot be performed.
Reality Defender is a powerful tool for detecting media manipulation and enhancing content authenticity within PeakMetrics.
