Micro-Defects Expose Macro-Fakes: Detecting AI-Generated Images via Local Distributional Shifts
Researchers propose MDMF, a detection framework that identifies AI-generated images by amplifying micro-scale statistical irregularities rather than relying on global semantic features. The method uses patch-wise analysis and Maximum Mean Discrepancy to distinguish synthetic images from real ones with higher accuracy than existing detectors.
