• Abstract summary: We propose a framework to mitigate the disparity in frequency domain of the generated images. This is realized by spectrum translation for the refinement of image generation (STIG) based on contrastive learning. We evaluate our framework across eight fake image datasets and various cutting-edge models to demonstrate the effectiveness of STIG.

• Abstract: Currently, image generation and synthesis have remarkably progressed with generative models. Despite photo-realistic results, intrinsic discrepancies are still observed in the frequency domain. The spectral discrepancy appeared not only in generative adversarial networks but in diffusion models. In this study, we propose a framework to effectively mitigate the disparity in frequency domain of the generated images to improve generative performance of both GAN and diffusion models. This is realized by spectrum translation for the refinement of image generation (STIG) based on contrastive learning. We adopt theoretical logic of frequency components in various generative networks. The key idea, here, is to refine the spectrum of the generated image via the concept of image-to-image translation and contrastive learning in terms of digital signal processing. We evaluate our framework across eight fake image datasets and various cutting-edge models to demonstrate the effectiveness of STIG. Our framework outperforms other cutting-edges showing significant decreases in FID and log frequency distance of spectrum. We further emphasize that STIG improves image quality by decreasing the spectral anomaly. Additionally, validation results present that the frequency-based deepfake detector confuses more in the case where fake spectrums are manipulated by STIG.

  Conventional wisdom dictates that spectral convolutional networks may only be deployed on undirected graphs. Here we show this traditional reliance on the graph Fourier transform to be superfluous. We provide a frequency-response interpretation of newly developed filters, investigate the influence of the basis used to express filters and discuss the interplay with characteristic operators on which networks are based.

  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.
