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.

Claims (34)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, using one or more processors, an image that comprises a plurality of color channels;

generating, using the one or more processors, a plurality of co-occurrence matrices on pixel values of the plurality of color channels of the image;

generating, using the one or more processors, analysis of the image based on the generated plurality of co-occurrence matrices using a convolutional neural network trained to detect images that are generated using a generative adversarial network (GAN); and

classifying, using the one or more processors, the image as an authentic image based on the analysis.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of color channels includes a red channel.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of color channels includes a green channel.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of color channels includes a blue channel.
