+## 🎨 DeepFake AI Explainability
+
+Deepfake detection is only as trustworthy as its explanations. DeepGuard integrates a production-ready XAI Toolkit that visualizes where and why the model flags a face as manipulated — turning a black-box score into actionable forensic evidence.

+⭐ Dual-Branch Analysis: Dual-branch design mirrors the model's own multi-scale reasoning

+
+<p align="center">

+
+
+| Branch | Feature Map | Focus | Best For |
+| ------ | ----------- | ----- | -------- |
+| ![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Low_level-blue?style=flat-square)       | High Resolution | Local Forgery artifacts | Skin texture, boundary blending, compression traces |
+| ![](https://img.shields.io/badge/High_level-red?style=flat-square)       | Low Resolution  | Global Semantic Structure | Lighting inconsistency, facial geometry, Shadow artifacts | 
+
+### 📐 XAI Methods
+
+Each method is assigned to the branch where it performs best empirically.
+
+| Branch | Method | 🎯 Core Idea |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **`low level`** | **HiResCAM** | Like GradCAM but element-wise multiply the activations with the gradients; provably guaranteed faithfulness for certain models |
+| **`low level`** | **GradCAMElementWise** | Like GradCAM but element-wise multiply the activations with the gradients then apply a ReLU operation before summing |
+| **`low level`** | **LayerCAM** | Spatially weight the activations by positive gradients. Works better especially in lower layers |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| **`high level`** | **EigenGradCAM** | Like EigenCAM but with class discrimination: First principle component of Activations*Grad. Looks like GradCAM, but cleaner |
+| **`high level`** | **GradCAM++** |  Like GradCAM but uses second order gradients |
+| **`high level`** | **XGradCAM** | Like GradCAM but scale the gradients by the normalized activations |
+
+- **`aug_smooth`** applies TTA (horizontal flips) before averaging CAMs → smoother, more object-aligned maps  
+- **`eigen_smooth`** applies PCA noise reduction → retains dominant forgery pattern only
+
+### 💡 DeepFake XAI Usage
+
+**Low-Level Branch — Local Artifact Detection**
+
+```python
+from explainability import HiResCAMExplainer, GradCAMElementWiseExplainer, LayerCAMExplainer
+
+explainer = HiResCAMExplainer(
+    model_name   = "ms_eff_gcvit_b0",  # or ms_eff_vit_b0, ms_eff_gcvit_b5, ms_eff_vit_b5
+    dataset      = "celeb_df_v2",       # or ff++, kodf
+    branch_level = "low",
+)
+```
+
+**High-Level Branch — Global Semantic Detection**
+```python
+from explainability import EigenGradCAMExplainer, GradCAMPlusPlusExplainer, XGradCAMExplainer
+
+explainer = EigenGradCAMExplainer(
+    model_name   = "ms_eff_gcvit_b0",
+    dataset      = "celeb_df_v2",
+    branch_level = "high",
+)
+```
+
+### 🎨 Visualization Modes
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="docs/xai-results/xai_demo.gif" width="80%" height=300>
+</p>
+
+**1. Heatmap — Continuous activation distribution**
+
+```python
+result = explainer.display_heatmap_on_image(
+    img_path     = "path/to/image.jpg",
+    category     = 1,      # 0: Real, 1: Fake
+    threshold    = 0.5,    # binarization cutoff (0.5~1.0), or "auto" for Otsu
+    image_weight = 0.5,    # 0.0: heatmap only ← → 1.0: original only
+    aug_smooth   = False,  # TTA smoothing (not supported on 'pro' models)
+    eigen_smooth = False,  # PCA noise reduction
+)
+```
+
+**2. Bounding Box — Discrete forgery region localization**
+
+```python
+result = explainer.display_bbox_on_image(
+    img_path     = "path/to/image.jpg",
+    category     = 1,
+    threshold    = 0.5,
+    thickness    = 1,
+    aug_smooth   = False,
+    eigen_smooth = False,
+)
+```
+
+**3. Heatmap + BBox — Full overlay (recommended for reporting)**
+```python
+result = explainer.display_heatmap_bbox_on_image(
+    img_path     = "path/to/image.jpg",
+    category     = 1,
+    threshold    = 0.5,
+    image_weight = 0.5,
+    aug_smooth   = False,
+    eigen_smooth = False,

+| **`high level`** | **XGradCAM** | Like GradCAM but scale the gradients by the normalized activations |
+
+- **`aug_smooth`** applies TTA (horizontal flips) before averaging CAMs → smoother, more object-aligned maps  
+- **`eigen_smooth`** applies PCA noise reduction → retains dominant forgery pattern only

+### 💡 DeepFake XAI Usage
+
+**Low-Level Branch — Local Artifact Detection**
+
+```python
+from explainability import HiResCAMExplainer, GradCAMElementWiseExplainer, LayerCAMExplainer
+
+explainer = HiResCAMExplainer(
+    model_name   = "ms_eff_gcvit_b0",  # or ms_eff_vit_b0, ms_eff_gcvit_b5, ms_eff_vit_b5
+    dataset      = "celeb_df_v2",       # or ff++, kodf
+    branch_level = "low",
+)
+```
+
+**High-Level Branch — Global Semantic Detection**
+```python
+from explainability import EigenGradCAMExplainer, GradCAMPlusPlusExplainer, XGradCAMExplainer
+
+explainer = EigenGradCAMExplainer(
+    model_name   = "ms_eff_gcvit_b0",
+    dataset      = "celeb_df_v2",
+    branch_level = "high",
+)
+```

+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="docs/xai-results/xai_demo.gif" width="80%" height=300>
+</p>
+
+**1. Heatmap — Continuous activation distribution**
+
+```python
+result = explainer.display_heatmap_on_image(
+    img_path     = "path/to/image.jpg",
+    category     = 1,      # 0: Real, 1: Fake
+    threshold    = 0.5,    # binarization cutoff (0.5~1.0), or "auto" for Otsu
+    image_weight = 0.5,    # 0.0: heatmap only ← → 1.0: original only
+    aug_smooth   = False,  # TTA smoothing (not supported on 'pro' models)
+    eigen_smooth = False,  # PCA noise reduction
+)
+```
+
+**2. Bounding Box — Discrete forgery region localization**
+
+```python
+result = explainer.display_bbox_on_image(
+    img_path     = "path/to/image.jpg",
+    category     = 1,
+    threshold    = 0.5,
+    thickness    = 1,
+    aug_smooth   = False,
+    eigen_smooth = False,
+)
+```
+
+**3. Heatmap + BBox — Full overlay (recommended for reporting)**
+```python
+result = explainer.display_heatmap_bbox_on_image(
+    img_path     = "path/to/image.jpg",
+    category     = 1,
+    threshold    = 0.5,
+    image_weight = 0.5,
+    aug_smooth   = False,
+    eigen_smooth = False,
+)
+```
