What papers say

Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites frequency-based detectors as a baseline.

  • While these methods proved highly effective in controlled environments, they exhibited severe fragility when exposed to standard image processing operations. For instance, a simple JPEG compression pass acts as a low-pass filter, effectively erasing the high-frequency clues that frequency-based detectors depend upon

  • Unlike GANs, diffusion models generate images via iterative denoising, resulting in fingerprints that resemble high-frequency Gaussian noise rather than structural periodicity. This shift renders frequency-based detectors less effective on modern deepfakes (e.g., Stable Diffusion rombach2022latentdiffusion, DALL-E openai2023dalle3)
