• Abstract: Generative models have reached an advanced stage where they can produce remarkably realistic images. However, this remarkable generative capability also introduces the risk of disseminating false or misleading information. Notably, existing image detectors for generated images encounter challenges such as low accuracy and limited generalization. This paper seeks to address this issue by seeking a representation with strong generalization capabilities to enhance the detection of generated images. Our investigation has revealed that real and generated images display distinct latent Gaussian representations when subjected to an inverse diffusion process within a pre-trained diffusion model. Exploiting this disparity, we can amplify subtle artifacts in generated images. Building upon this insight, we introduce a novel image representation known as Diffusion Noise Feature (DNF). DNF is extracted from the estimated noise generated during the inverse diffusion process. A simple classifier, e.g., ResNet50, trained on DNF achieves high accuracy, robustness, and generalization capabilities for detecting generated images (even the corresponding generator is built with datasets/structures that are not seen during the classifier's training). We conducted experiments using four training datasets and five testsets, achieving state-of-the-art detection performance.

  We investigate the capability of generating images from pre-trained diffusion models at much higher resolutions than the training image sizes. Existing works for higher-resolution generation, such as attention-based and joint-diffusion approaches, cannot well address these issues. We propose a simple yet effective re-dilation that can dynamically adjust the convolutional perception field during inference.

  We introduce Deceptive-NeRF/3DGS to enhance sparse-view reconstruction with only a limited set of input images. Specifically, we propose a deceptive diffusion model turning noisy images rendered from few-view reconstructions into high-quality pseudo-observations. Our system progressively incorporates diffusion-generated pseudo-observations into the training image sets, ultimately densifying the sparse input observations by 5 to 10 times.

  Deep generative models for photo-realistic images can not be easily distinguished from real images by the human eye. We propose to generate images according to the frequency distribution of the real data by employing a spectral discriminator. We show that the resulting models can better generate images with realistic frequency spectra, which are thus harder to detect by this cue.
