DeformTrace addresses boundary ambiguity, sparse forgeries, and limited long-range modeling in Temporal Forgery Localization (TFL) using State Space Models (SSMs). It enhances SSMs with deformable dynamics and relay mechanisms to improve precision and robustness. The core idea is to introduce dynamic receptive fields and cross-sequence interactions while maintaining long-range dependencies efficiently.
DS-SSM integrates a deformable dynamic receptive field mechanism into state space models for the first time. Unlike deformable Mamba variants, it leverages temporal continuity to predict offsets at each time step, dynamically sampling input features, reducing computational overhead, and improving robustness to ambiguous temporal boundaries.
Inspired by relay nodes in wireless communication, this mechanism introduces learnable global tokens evenly inserted into the input sequence. These tokens expand the receptive field and mitigate the long-range decay problem inherent in SSMs by partitioning the sequence into subspaces and broadcasting aggregated messages.
DC-SSM introduces cross-sequence interactions into deformable state space modeling to tackle sparse forgeries. Each auxiliary token acts as a query to retrieve forgery-relevant information, partitioning the global state space into query-specific subspaces, reducing non-forgery accumulation, and boosting sensitivity to sparse forgeries.

Impact in Digital Forensics
In a real-world digital forensics scenario, identifying manipulated media segments with high precision is critical. DeformTrace's ability to localize forgery segments with significantly improved mAP (+2.2% over DiMoDif) and reduced inference time (7.3x faster than UMMAFormer) makes it invaluable for rapidly sifting through large volumes of suspicious content. Its robustness against various distortions ensures reliability even with degraded evidence. This leads to faster investigation cycles and more accurate evidence reporting for legal proceedings.
