FIND: A Simple yet Effective Baseline for Diffusion-Generated Image Detection

ArXi:2603.14220v1 Announce Type: new The remarkable realism of images generated by diffusion models poses critical detection challenges. Current methods utilize reconstruction error as a discriminative feature, exploiting the observation that real images exhibit higher reconstruction errors when processed through diffusion models. However, these approaches require costly reconstruction computations and depend on specific diffusion models, making their performance highly model-dependent.
