DailyBench: A Unified Benchmark for AI-Generated and Manipulated Images from Modern Generative Models

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

DailyBench is a unified benchmark designed to evaluate AI-generated image detectors on both modern full-image synthesis and object-level manipulation. It comprises two subsets: FakeBench, featuring high‑quality images from recent open‑source and commercial generative models, and ManipulationBench, containing subtle local edits applied to real images using advanced image‑conditional models. Experiments show that detectors with high accuracy on older datasets perform poorly on DailyBench, revealing significant robustness gaps.

A Real-Calibrated Synthetic-First Data Engine

The paper introduces the Real‑Calibrated Synthetic‑First Data Engine, a modular pipeline that integrates controllable diffusion‑based synthetic image generation with multi‑stage curation, filtering, and optional uncertainty‑driven selection and human verification. Designed as a CLI‑based framework, it allows independent configuration of generation, filtering, selection, and validation modules to enhance reproducibility and flexibility in real‑world data workflows. Empirical tests on human pose estimation demonstrate that synthetic data can boost a real‑data baseline when used as low‑cost augmentation, though synthetic‑only training still lags behind real‑only performance, underscoring the importance of data‑centric orchestration in low‑data regimes.
