Forged videos of swapped faces, so-called deepfakes, have gained a lot of attention in recent years. Methods for automated detection of this type of manipulation are also seeing rapid progress in their development. The purpose of this thesis work is to evaluate the possibility and effectiveness of using deep embeddings from facial recognition networks as base for detection of such deepfakes. In addition, the thesis aims to answer whether or not the identity embeddings contain information that can be used for detection while analyzed over time and if it is suitable to include information about the person's head pose in this analysis. To answer these questions, three classifiers are created with the intent to answer one question each. Their performances are compared with each other and it is shown that identity embeddings are suitable as a basis for deepfake detection. Temporal analysis of the embeddings also seem effective, at least for deepfake methods that only work on a frame-by-frame basis. Including information about head poses in the videos is shown to not improve a classifier like this.
