Verifying the authenticity of satellite imagery has become increasingly critical given advances in generative artificial intelligence. Highly realistic synthetic imagery produced for malicious purposes (deepfakes) can have major consequences in the remote sensing domain, where this data is a fundamental source of information for science applications, planning, logistics, and monitoring.
The paper proposes a unified forensics framework that extends traditional binary image manipulation detection to a multiclass setting—distinguishing real, fully synthetic, and tampered images. It adds a segmentation branch for pixel‑level localization of tampered regions, achieving higher classification accuracy and IoU scores compared to recent benchmarks. The authors provide the implementation on GitHub for reproducibility.

ManiVid introduces a unified forensic analysis framework for manipulated videos, combining forgery detection, artifact grounding, and anomaly explanation. The authors release ManiVid-38K, a large dataset of 19K real‑fake video pairs with authenticity labels, forgery masks, and explanations, and a benchmark ManiVidBench with 1K balanced pairs. ManiVidLens, the proposed model, outperforms existing methods in artifact grounding and anomaly explanation while matching state‑of‑the‑art detection accuracy.

FUSED is a new framework that jointly detects and localizes AI-generated inpainting by combining low-level forensic cues with high-level semantic features through a sparsely-gated Mixture-of-Experts architecture. It predicts both an image-level manipulation score and a pixel-level mask of the inpainted region. On the OpenSDID cross-generator benchmark, FUSED outperforms existing methods, especially on unseen generators, and transfers effectively to the AutoSplice and CocoGlide benchmarks, doubling localization performance.

The paper introduces the Remote Sensing Copy-Move Question Answering (RSCMQA) task, aimed at interpreting complex tampering scenarios in land resource monitoring and national defense. It presents five datasets—RS-CMQA, RS-CMQA-B, Real-RSCM, RS-TQA, and RS-TQA-B—spanning 29 regions in 14 countries, and a region-discrimination-guided multimodal copy-move forgery perception framework (CMFPF) that improves question answering accuracy on tampered images. Experiments show CMFPF outperforms general VQA and RSVQA models, establishing a new benchmark for RSCMQA.

The paper introduces MoE-JEPA, a dual‑stream deepfake detection model that combines a V‑JEPA backbone with a Residual Mixture‑of‑Experts mechanism and a noise stream branch. It further incorporates a Gated Attention Multiple Instance Learning module to refine spatial semantic understanding. On the SID‑Set benchmark, MoE‑JEPA achieves a new state‑of‑the‑art accuracy of 95.54%, outperforming much larger models.

The paper proposes Artifact-Complementary Expert Fusion (ACEF), a two‑stage framework that enhances AI‑generated image detection by combining two types of reconstruction artifacts—VAE/DDIM and SRGAN—into aligned synthetic negatives. ACEF first builds artifact‑specific experts using LoRA adaptation on a frozen backbone, then fuses their multi‑layer evidence with Layer‑wise Artifact‑Complementary Fusion (LACF) to mitigate conflicts between artifact manifolds. Experiments on 13 benchmarks show that this approach improves generalizability over existing state‑of‑the‑art methods.
