• Title: Deep Image Restoration For Image Anti-Forensics
• Authors: Eren Tahir, Mert Bal,
• Abstract summary: JPEG compression, blurring and noising have long been used for anti-forensics. They make it difficult to detect fake images and are used for data augmentation in training deep image forgery detection models. Separate image forensics methods have also been developed to detect these traces. In this study, we go one step further and improve the image quality after these methods with deep image restoration models.

• Abstract: While image forensics is concerned with whether an image has been tampered with, image anti-forensics attempts to prevent image forensics methods from detecting tampered images. The competition between these two fields started long before the advancement of deep learning. JPEG compression, blurring and noising, which are simple methods by today's standards, have long been used for anti-forensics and have been the subject of much research in both forensics and anti-forensics. Although these traditional methods are old, they make it difficult to detect fake images and are used for data augmentation in training deep image forgery detection models. In addition to making the image difficult to detect, these methods leave traces on the image and consequently degrade the image quality. Separate image forensics methods have also been developed to detect these traces. In this study, we go one step further and improve the image quality after these methods with deep image restoration models and make it harder to detect the forged image. We evaluate the impact of these methods on image quality. We then test both our proposed methods with deep learning and methods without deep learning on the two best existing image manipulation detection models. In the obtained results, we show how existing image forgery detection models fail against the proposed methods. Code implementation will be publicly available at https://github.com/99eren99/DIRFIAF .

• Detecting AutoEncoder is Enough to Catch LDM Generated Images [0.0]
  This paper proposes a novel method for detecting images generated by Latent Diffusion Models (LDM) by identifying artifacts introduced by their autoencoders. By training a detector to distinguish between real images and those reconstructed by the LDM autoencoder, the method enables detection of generated images without directly training on them. Experimental results show high detection accuracy with minimal false positives, making this approach a promising tool for combating fake images.

• Semantic Contextualization of Face Forgery: A New Definition, Dataset, and Detection Method [77.65459419417533]
  We put face forgery in a semantic context and define that computational methods that alter semantic face attributes are sources of face forgery. We construct a large face forgery image dataset, where each image is associated with a set of labels organized in a hierarchical graph. We propose a semantics-oriented face forgery detection method that captures label relations and prioritizes the primary task.

  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 method for detecting unauthorized data usage by planting the injected content into the protected dataset. Specifically, we modify the protected images by adding unique contents on these images using stealthy image warping functions. By analyzing whether the model has memorized the injected content, we can detect models that had illegally utilized the unauthorized data.
