• Abstract: The continued release of increasingly realistic image generation models creates a demand for synthetic image detectors. To build effective detectors we must first understand how factors like data source diversity, training methodologies and image alterations affect their generalization capabilities. This work conducts a systematic analysis and uses its insights to develop practical guidelines for training robust synthetic image detectors. Model generalization capabilities are evaluated across different setups (e.g. scale, sources, transformations) including real-world deployment conditions. Through an extensive benchmarking of state-of-the-art detectors across diverse and recent datasets, we show that while current approaches excel in specific scenarios, no single detector achieves universal effectiveness. Critical flaws are identified in detectors, and workarounds are proposed to enable the deployment of real-world detector applications enhancing accuracy, reliability and robustness beyond the limitations of current systems.

  We introduce a novel single-domain object detection generalization method, named GoDiff. By integrating pseudo-target domain data with source domain data, we diversify the training dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that our method not only enhances the generalization ability of existing detectors but also functions as a plug-and-play enhancement for other single-domain generalization methods.

  Multispectral object detection, utilizing RGB and TIR (thermal infrared) modalities, is widely recognized as a challenging task. It requires not only the effective extraction of features from both modalities and robust fusion strategies, but also the ability to address issues such as spectral discrepancies. We introduce an efficient and easily deployable multispectral object detection framework that can seamlessly optimize high-performing single-modality models.

  We introduce an external modality-guided data mining framework, primarily rooted in optical character recognition (OCR), to extract statistical features from images.

Our methodology considerably boosts the recall rate of the defect detection model and maintains high robustness even in challenging scenarios.
