Davide Cozzolino, Justus Thies, Andreas R\"ossler, Matthias, Nie{\ss}ner, Luisa Verdoliva

TL;DR
This paper introduces SpoC, a GAN-based method that injects camera-specific traces into synthetic images to deceive forensic detectors, revealing vulnerabilities and highlighting the need for more robust media manipulation detection techniques.
Contribution
The paper presents a novel GAN-based approach to inject camera traces into synthetic images, exposing weaknesses in current forensic detectors without prior knowledge of the detectors.
Findings
Effective deception of state-of-the-art detectors across various conditions
No prior information on detectors needed, only sample images from target cameras
Highlights vulnerabilities in current media forgery detection methods
Abstract
Thanks to the fast progress in synthetic media generation, creating realistic false images has become very easy. Such images can be used to wrap "rich" fake news with enhanced credibility, spawning a new wave of high-impact, high-risk misinformation campaigns. Therefore, there is a fast-growing interest in reliable detectors of manipulated media. The most powerful detectors, to date, rely on the subtle traces left by any device on all images acquired by it. In particular, due to proprietary in-camera processes, like demosaicing or compression, each camera model leaves trademark traces that can be exploited for forensic analyses. The absence or distortion of such traces in the target image is a strong hint of manipulation. In this paper, we challenge such detectors to gain better insight into their vulnerabilities. This is an important study in order to build better forgery detectors…
