Multi-Domain Perception Transformer for Generalized Forgery Image Detection

With the rapid advancement of generative AI (AIGC) technology, synthetic images are increasingly approaching real pictures in terms of resolution and semantic consistency. Traditional detection methods face numerous challenges, such as insufficient cross-modal generalization capabilities and difficulty in identifying hidden generative traces. Existing solutions primarily design feature extractors for single generative models, struggling to address the complexity of multimodal forgeries. Therefore, we propose a multi-domain feature fusion Transformer network that integrates spatial, frequency, and wavelet transform features and introduce a cross-domain feature fusion module (CDAF) to detect subtle forgery traces in deepfake images. This model demonstrates superior detection performance on current forged images generated by generative adversarial networks (GANs) and diffusion models while exhibiting enhanced robustness.

Abstract

With the rapid advancement of generative AI (AIGC) technology, synthetic images are increasingly approaching real pictures in terms of resolution and semantic consistency. Traditional detection methods face numerous challenges, such as insufficient cross-modal generalization capabilities and difficulty in identifying hidden generative traces. Existing solutions primarily design feature extractors for single generative models, struggling to address the complexity of multimodal forgeries. Therefore, we propose a multi-domain feature fusion Transformer network that integrates spatial, frequency, and wavelet transform features and introduce a cross-domain feature fusion module (CDAF) to detect subtle forgery traces in deepfake images. This model demonstrates superior detection performance on current forged images generated by generative adversarial networks (GANs) and diffusion models while exhibiting enhanced robustness.
