The field of deepfake detection and image forgery localization is rapidly advancing, with a focus on developing robust and generalizable methods to combat the increasing sophistication of image manipulation techniques. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches, including the use of hybrid CNN-Transformer models, Vision Transformers, and multimodal large language models, to improve detection accuracy and localization precision. Noteworthy papers in this area include EdgeDoc, which presents a novel approach for detecting and localizing document forgeries, and Veritas, which introduces a multi-modal large language model-based deepfake detector with pattern-aware reasoning. Additionally, papers such as A Novel Local Focusing Mechanism for Deepfake Detection Generalization and No Pixel Left Behind: A Detail-Preserving Architecture for Robust High-Resolution AI-Generated Image Detection are making significant contributions to the field by proposing new mechanisms and architectures for improving detection performance.
