GenShield: Unified Detection and Artifact Correction for AI-Generated Images

Diffusion-based image synthesis has made AI-generated images (AIGI) increasingly photorealistic, raising urgent concerns about authenticity in applications such as misinformation detection, digital forensics, and content moderation. Despite the substantial advances in AIGI detection, how to correct detected AI-generated images with visible artifacts and restore realistic appearance remains largely underexplored. Moreover, few existing work has established the connection between AIGI detection and artifact correction. To fill this gap, we propose GenShield, a unified autoregressive framework that jointly performs explainable AIGI detection and controllable artifact correction in a closed loop from diagnosis to restoration, revealing a mutually reinforcing relationship between these two tasks. We further introduce a Visual Chain-of-Thought based curriculum learning strategy that enables self-explained, multi-step ``diagnose-then-repair'' correction with an explicit stopping criterion. A high-quality dataset with large-scale ``artifact-restored'' pairs is also constructed alongside a unified evaluation pipeline. Extensive experiments on our correction benchmark and mainstream AIGI detection benchmarks demonstrate state-of-the-art performance and strong generalization of our method. The code is available at https://github.com/zhipeixu/GenShield.

Exploring Frequency Adversarial Attacks for Face Forgery Detection

Various facial manipulation techniques have drawn serious public concerns in morality, security, and privacy. Although existing face forgery classifiers achieve promising performance on detecting fake images, these methods are vulnerable to adversarial examples with injected imperceptible perturbations on the pixels. Meanwhile, many face forgery detectors always utilize the frequency diversity between real and fake faces as a crucial clue. In this paper, instead of injecting adversarial perturbations into the spatial domain, we propose a frequency adversarial attack method against face forgery detectors. Concretely, we apply discrete cosine transform (DCT) on the input images and introduce a fusion module to capture the salient region of adversary in the frequency domain. Compared with existing adversarial attacks (e.g. FGSM, PGD) in the spatial domain, our method is more imperceptible to human observers and does not degrade the visual quality of the original images. Moreover, inspired by the idea of meta-learning, we also propose a hybrid adversarial attack that performs attacks in both the spatial and frequency domains. Extensive experiments indicate that the proposed method fools not only the spatial-based detectors but also the state-of-the-art frequency-based detectors effectively. In addition, the proposed frequency attack enhances the transferability across face forgery detectors as black-box attacks.

Aurora Guard: Reliable Face Anti-Spoofing via Mobile Lighting System

Face authentication on mobile end has been widely applied in various scenarios. Despite the increasing reliability of cutting-edge face authentication/verification systems to variations like blinking eye and subtle facial expression, anti-spoofing against high-resolution rendering replay of paper photos or digital videos retains as an open problem. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective face anti-spoofing system, termed Aurora Guard (AG). Our system firstly extracts the normal cues via light reflection analysis, and then adopts an end-to-end trainable multi-task Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to accurately recover subjects' intrinsic depth and material map to assist liveness classification, along with the light CAPTCHA checking mechanism in the regression branch to further improve the system reliability. Experiments on public Replay-Attack and CASIA datasets demonstrate the merits of our proposed method over the state-of-the-arts. We also conduct extensive experiments on a large-scale dataset containing 12,000 live and diverse spoofing samples, which further validates the generalization ability of our method in the wild.

DeeperForensics Challenge 2020 on Real-World Face Forgery Detection: Methods and Results

This paper reports methods and results in the DeeperForensics Challenge 2020 on real-world face forgery detection. The challenge employs the DeeperForensics-1.0 dataset, one of the most extensive publicly available real-world face forgery detection datasets, with 60,000 videos constituted by a total of 17.6 million frames. The model evaluation is conducted online on a high-quality hidden test set with multiple sources and diverse distortions. A total of 115 participants registered for the competition, and 25 teams made valid submissions. We will summarize the winning solutions and present some discussions on potential research directions.

Face Anti-Spoofing Via Disentangled Representation Learning

Face anti-spoofing is crucial to security of face recognition systems. Previous approaches focus on developing discriminative models based on the features extracted from images, which may be still entangled between spoof patterns and real persons. In this paper, motivated by the disentangled representation learning, we propose a novel perspective of face anti-spoofing that disentangles the liveness features and content features from images, and the liveness features is further used for classification. We also put forward a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture with the process of disentanglement and combination of low-level and high-level supervision to improve the generalization capabilities. We evaluate our method on public benchmark datasets and extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method against the state-of-the-art competitors. Finally, we further visualize some results to help understand the effect and advantage of disentanglement.
