The paper demonstrates that diffusion‑based inpainting introduces a subtle, global spectral shift across the entire image, which current AI‑generated image detectors fail to detect. By creating a model‑free diagnostic called Inpainting Exchange (INP‑X) that restores unedited pixels while keeping synthesized content, the authors show that many pretrained detectors, commercial APIs, and bias‑aware methods collapse to chance performance. A large benchmark of 30K triplets across four datasets and three inpainters confirms the prevalence of this artifact, and a perceptual study indicates humans also struggle to spot the shift.

The paper introduces VITA, a multi‑source vicinal transfer augmentation method designed to improve out‑of‑distribution generalization in computer vision. VITA combines tangent transfer, which generates initial augmented samples to enhance robustness against various image corruptions, with an integration step that uses a generative model to produce on‑manifold samples from multiple vicinal sources. Experiments on corruption benchmarks show that VITA outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art augmentation techniques.
The paper introduces the first systematic robustness benchmark for local invisible image watermarking, evaluating five methods across 55 image transformations that include signal distortions, coordinate misalignments, indirect local edits, and direct watermark edits. Results show that all methods are vulnerable to some transformation, with MaskWM achieving the best payload recovery and localization but at the cost of image quality. The study highlights that robustness varies strongly with transformation type, especially noting that geometric misalignment and generative local edits can completely disrupt payload recovery.
