Abstract

Due to the realm of the blooming generative models, like GANs, VAE and diffusion-based environment, the trustworthiness of authentication in visual media has been vastly challenged. AI-generated images appearing quite photorealistic go beyond human perceptual boundaries often overlying concerns for disinformation, digital tampering, forensic evidence authentication, and or the security of biometric purposes. This review organizes throughout the chronology of deep learning advancement to segregate real from synthetic images by focusing not much on its generalization snags, extraction of fake image or artifacts from sustainability in the aspect of datasets. Also this review provides systematic analysis on publicly available datasets and those essential research directions in the future being necessary to become a robust detection mechanism for fake images.
