• Title: Real-world actor-based image steganalysis via classifier inconsistency detection
• Authors: Daniel Lerch-Hostalot, David Megías,
• Abstract summary: We propose a robust method for detecting guilty actors in image steganography. The proposed approach successfully determines whether an actor is innocent or guilty, or if they should be discarded due to excessive Cover Source Mismatch (CSM) This novel approach contributes to the field of steganalysis by offering a practical and efficient solution for handling CSM and detecting guilty actors in real-world applications.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a robust method for detecting guilty actors in image steganography while effectively addressing the Cover Source Mismatch (CSM) problem, which arises when classifying images from one source using a classifier trained on images from another source. Designed for an actor-based scenario, our method combines the use of Detection of Classifier Inconsistencies (DCI) prediction with EfficientNet neural networks for feature extraction, and a Gradient Boosting Machine for the final classification. The proposed approach successfully determines whether an actor is innocent or guilty, or if they should be discarded due to excessive CSM. We show that the method remains reliable even in scenarios with high CSM, consistently achieving accuracy above 80% and outperforming the baseline method. This novel approach contributes to the field of steganalysis by offering a practical and efficient solution for handling CSM and detecting guilty actors in real-world applications.

• 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.

We tested our method on the MNIST and two medical image datasets and reported better accuracy than the state-of-the-art methods without an out-of-class distribution detection procedure.
