EDGER: EDge-Guided with HEatmap Refinement for Generalizable Image Forgery Localization

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.12002v1 Announce Type: new Text-guided inpainting has made image forgery increasingly realistic, challenging both SID and IFL. However, existing methods often struggle to point out suspicious signals across domains. To address this problem, we propose EDGER, a patch-based, dual-branch framework that localizes manipulated regions in arbitrary resolution images without sacrificing native resolution. The first branch, Edge-Guided Segmentation,
