TruEye uses a mask-conditioned dual-stream transformer that runs over 100 times faster than LLM-based detectors while achieving higher accuracy and stronger generalization on six datasets.", "body_md": "arXiv:2606.27505v1 Announce Type: new\nAbstract: AI generated images are proliferating across the Internet. While some are used for entertainment, others are weaponized for fraud and social engineering attacks on social media users. Existing detectors overfit to generators seen during training, treat detection as opaque binary classification, or rely on costly Large Language Models (LLMs) to explain their outputs. In this paper, we present TruEye, a novel model for fine grained detection and localization of AI manipulated or AI generated humans and scenes. Unlike conventional detectors that assign a single authenticity label, TruEye is the first to distinguish among five compositional categories of synthetic content, including the most challenging case in which a real human is composited into a real scene where they were never physically present. At its core is a mask conditioned dual stream transformer that separates human and scene tokens while preserving patch level spatial correspondence. Specialized reasoning within each stream and region gated cross attention enforce semantic coherence between subject and background, while token level supervision and global compositional classification yield robust, interpretable predictions without invoking an LLM. By restricting intra stream attention to semantically coherent tokens, TruEye also runs over $100\\times$ faster than LLM based competitors. Experiments on 6 datasets and our newly curated FineSyn dataset, show that TruEye surpasses state of the art detectors with higher accuracy, faster inference, and stronger generalization to unseen AI generated or manipulated images.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/trueye-fine-grained-detection-of-ai-generated-human-subjects-in-images", "canonical_source": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.27505", "published_at": "2026-06-29 04:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-29 04:02:45.545180+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["computer-vision", "generative-ai", "ai-safety", "ai-research"], "entities": ["TruEye", "FineSyn"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/trueye-fine-grained-detection-of-ai-generated-human-subjects-in-images", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/trueye-fine-grained-detection-of-ai-generated-human-subjects-in-images.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/trueye-fine-grained-detection-of-ai-generated-human-subjects-in-images.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/trueye-fine-grained-detection-of-ai-generated-human-subjects-in-images.jsonld"}}
