Abstract

Systems, devices, methods and instructions are described for detecting GAN generated images. On embodiment involves receiving an images, generating co-occurrence matrices on color channels of the image, generating analysis of the image by using a convolutional neural network trained to analyze image features of the images based on the generated co-occurrence matrices and determining whether the image is a GAN generated image based on the analysis.
