TL;DR
This work targets the gap in forgery datasets for fine-grained, region-level facial edits and the challenge posed by detector-evasive samples. It introduces DiffFace-Edit, a diffusion-based dataset with over 2 million partially edited faces across eight facial regions and three manipulation types, including detector-evasive samples and precise prompt annotations. A cross-domain IMDL benchmark with eight locators is used to study generalization under semantic ambiguity and model perturbations. Findings show detector-evasive and richly edited samples markedly reduce localization accuracy, underscoring the need for cross-domain evaluation to develop robust forensic tools that generalize beyond single-model assumptions.
Abstract
Generative models now produce imperceptible, fine-grained manipulated faces, posing significant privacy risks. However, existing AI-generated face datasets generally lack focus on samples with fine-grained regional manipulations. Furthermore, no researchers have yet studied the real impact of splice attacks, which occur between real and manipulated samples, on detectors. We refer to these as detector-evasive samples. Based on this, we introduce the DiffFace-Edit dataset, which has the following advantages: 1) It contains over two million AI-generated fake images. 2) It features edits across eight facial regions (e.g., eyes, nose) and includes a richer variety of editing combinations, such as single-region and multi-region edits. Additionally, we specifically analyze the impact of detector-evasive samples on detection models. We conduct a comprehensive analysis of the dataset and propose a cross-domain evaluation that combines IMDL methods. Dataset will be available at https://github.com/ywh1093/DiffFace-Edit.
