• Abstract summary: One notable application of GANs is developing fake human faces, also known as "deep fakes" Measuring the quality of the generated images is inherently subjective but attempts to objectify quality using standardized metrics have been made. We propose to improve the robustness of the evaluation process by integrating lower-level features to cover a wider array of visual defects.

• Abstract: Generative adversarial networks or GANs are a type of generative modeling framework. GANs involve a pair of neural networks engaged in a competition in iteratively creating fake data, indistinguishable from the real data. One notable application of GANs is developing fake human faces, also known as "deep fakes," due to the deep learning algorithms at the core of the GAN framework. Measuring the quality of the generated images is inherently subjective but attempts to objectify quality using standardized metrics have been made. One example of objective metrics is the Frechet Inception Distance (FID), which measures the difference between distributions of feature vectors for two separate datasets of images. There are situations that images with low perceptual qualities are not assigned appropriate FID scores. We propose to improve the robustness of the evaluation process by integrating lower-level features to cover a wider array of visual defects. Our proposed method integrates three levels of feature abstractions to evaluate the quality of generated images. Experimental evaluations show better performance of the proposed method for distorted images.

  We propose a novel IQA method called diffusion priors-based IQA (DP-IQA) We use pre-trained stable diffusion as the backbone, extract multi-level features from the denoising U-Net, and decode them to estimate the image quality score. We distill the knowledge in the above model into a CNN-based student model, significantly reducing the parameter to enhance applicability.

  Inception Distance estimates the distance between a distribution of Inception-v3 features of real images, and those of images generated by the algorithm. We highlight important drawbacks of FID: Inception's poor representation of the rich and varied content generated by modern text-to-image models, incorrect normality assumptions, and poor sample complexity. We propose an alternative new metric, CMMD, based on richer CLIP embeddings and the maximum mean discrepancy distance with the Gaussian RBF kernel.

• On quantifying and improving realism of images generated with diffusion [50.37578424163951]
  We propose a metric, called Image Realism Score (IRS), computed from five statistical measures of a given image. IRS is easily usable as a measure to classify a given image as real or fake. We experimentally establish the model- and data-agnostic nature of the proposed IRS by successfully detecting fake images generated by Stable Diffusion Model (SDM), Dalle2, Midjourney and BigGAN. Our efforts have also led to Gen-100 dataset, which provides 1,000 samples for 100 classes generated by four high-quality models.

  We propose a learning-based framework, Reference-guided Image Synthesis Assessment (RISA) to quantitatively evaluate the quality of a single generated image. As this annotation is too coarse as a supervision signal, we introduce two techniques: 1) a pixel-wise scheme to refine the coarse labels, and 2) multiple binary classifiers to replace a na"ive regressor. RISA is highly consistent with human preference and transfers well across models.
