New framework accurately attributes synthetic images, distinguishing between Stable Diffusion versions

Researchers have developed a novel framework for attributing synthetic images, achieving high accuracy on a challenge dataset. Their approach combines multiple AI architectures, including FFT-ConvNeXt, DINOv2, CLIP, and Xception, to analyze images from various perspectives like frequency, semantics, and forensics. To enhance robustness against image manipulations, they incorporated extensive data augmentation simulating real-world post-processing. The framework specifically addresses confusion between Stable Diffusion 3 and Stable Diffusion 3.5 by employing a dedicated binary classifier and class-adaptive confidence calibration, ultimately scoring 99.20% on the private leaderboard.

    A Multi-View and Confusion-Guided Ensemble Framework for Robust Synthetic Image Attribution

    arXiv:2609.11188v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic image attribution (SIA) has become increasingly important with the rapid advancement of text-to-image generation models. However, accurately identifying the source model of a generated image remains challenging due to the …
