arXiv:2605. 23264v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative priors in Image Super-Resolution (SR) often compromise faithful restoration, we attribute this limitation to a fundamental spectral misalignment between isotropic objectives and the intrinsic natural image manifold.
GraftSR is a diffusion-based super‑resolution framework that uses reference images of the same object to guide texture restoration, mitigating hallucination. It introduces a dual‑mask reference guidance mechanism to decouple texture extraction from application, avoiding reliance on spatial alignment. The authors also release TexRefSR‑141K, a large dataset of reference pairs with spatial masks, and show that GraftSR outperforms existing methods on the TexRefSR‑Eval benchmark, reducing LPIPS by 20.2%.
arXiv:2606. 07660v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adapting foundation models to detect generative artifacts via gradient-based updates compromises their intrinsic representations.
The paper introduces a multi‑view, confusion‑guided ensemble framework for synthetic image attribution, combining FFT‑ConvNeXt, DINOv2, CLIP, and Xception to capture frequency, semantic, and forensic cues. Extensive data augmentation simulates realistic post‑processing, while a binary expert classifier and class‑adaptive confidence calibration address ambiguities between similar diffusion models. The approach achieved 99.53% on the public leaderboard and 99.20% on the private leaderboard for the ICANN 2026 DLMMDD Workshop challenge.
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.
