• Abstract: In the last few years, generative models have shown their powerful capabilities in synthesizing realistic images in both quality and diversity (i.e., facial images, and natural subjects). Unfortunately, the artifact patterns in fake images synthesized by different generative models are inconsistent, leading to the failure of previous research that relied on spotting subtle differences between real and fake. In our preliminary experiments, we find that the artifacts in fake images always change with the development of the generative model, while natural images exhibit stable statistical properties. In this paper, we employ natural traces shared only by real images as an additional predictive target in the detector. Specifically, the natural traces are learned from the wild real images and we introduce extended supervised contrastive learning to bring them closer to real images and further away from fake ones. This motivates the detector to make decisions based on the proximity of images to the natural traces. To conduct a comprehensive experiment, we built a high-quality and diverse dataset that includes generative models comprising 6 GAN and 6 diffusion models, to evaluate the effectiveness in generalizing unknown forgery techniques and robustness in surviving different transformations. Experimental results show that our proposed method gives 96.1% mAP significantly outperforms the baselines. Extensive experiments conducted on the widely recognized platform Midjourney reveal that our proposed method achieves an accuracy exceeding 78.4%, underscoring its practicality for real-world application deployment. The source code and partial self-built dataset are available in supplementary material.

  Existing generated image detection methods detect visual artifacts in generated images or learn discriminative features from both real and generated images by massive training. This paper approaches the generated image detection problem from a new perspective: Start from real images. By finding the commonality of real images and mapping them to a dense subspace in feature space, the goal is that generated images, regardless of their generative model, are then projected outside the subspace.

  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.
