Researchers have developed a diffusion-based framework for multi-class out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, specifically applied to copy detection pattern (CDP) authentication. This method uses a single class-conditional ControlNet trained solely on authentic CDPs from various printing and digitization (P&D) classes to identify counterfeit samples by measuring reconstruction error. The approach also incorporates dual template masking to enhance detection accuracy by focusing on withheld pixels. Tested on the Indigo 1 x 1 Base dataset, this method reportedly surpasses existing generative baselines in distinguishing authentic from counterfeit CDPs without requiring counterfeit samples for training or threshold calibration.
