📝 摘要(中文)

随着图像生成模型能力的提升,合成图像在开放媒体中变得越来越普遍,因此强大且具有良好泛化能力的AI生成图像(AIGI)检测变得至关重要。当前基于多模态大型语言模型(MLLM)的检测器在捕捉细粒度异常方面仍存在显著的感知瓶颈。为了解决这一问题,本文提出了Veritas++,一个增强感知的推理框架,基于可靠的感知能力来进行真实性推理。我们引入了感知导向学习(PoRL)和价值感知在线蒸馏(VaOPD),通过明确的奖励机制来增强模型的感知能力,并有效地提升检测性能。实验结果表明,Veritas++在多个基准测试中表现出良好的泛化能力。

🔬 方法详解

问题定义:本文旨在解决当前基于多模态大型语言模型的AIGI检测在细粒度异常捕捉上的感知瓶颈,现有方法主要关注视觉证据的组织与合成,未能优化内在感知能力。

核心思路:Veritas++的核心思路是将AIGI检测建立在三种基本的感知能力之上,包括捕捉细粒度视觉细节、语义异常和像素级差异,通过感知导向学习和价值感知在线蒸馏来增强这些能力。

技术框架:整体架构包括感知导向学习(PoRL)和价值感知在线蒸馏(VaOPD)两个主要模块。PoRL通过可验证的奖励替代开放式描述监督,VaOPD则优先考虑高价值的蒸馏信号,促进感知与推理的结合。

📄 摘要(原文)

The growing capability of image generation models has made synthetic images a routine presence in open media, making robust and generalizable AI-Generated Image (AIGI) detection increasingly essential. While multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) offer a transparent alternative to black-box binary scoring, we observe that current MLLM-based detectors still exhibit notable perception bottlenecks in capturing fine-grained anomalies. They primarily focus on how visual evidence is organized and synthesized, leaving the intrinsic perception less optimized. To mitigate this gap, we present Veritas++, a perception-enhanced reasoning framework that establishes reliable perception as the foundation of authenticity reasoning. Rather than directly optimizing the model's explanatory ability, we ground AIGI detection on three basic perception abilities, i.e., capturing fine-grained visual details, semantic anomalies and pixel-level differences. Building on this insight, we introduce Perception-oriented Learning (PoRL), which replaces open-ended description supervision with verifiable rewards to explicitly strengthen these capacities. To further integrate enhanced perception with reasoning, we introduce Value-aware On-Policy Distillation (VaOPD), an adaptive distillation mechanism that prioritizes high-value distillation signals over uniform supervision, internalizing perception-aware reasoning through a privileged self-teacher. Extensive experiments across standard, in-the-wild and emerging benchmarks demonstrate that Veritas++ achieves promising generalization. The perception learning effectively bridges the perception gap and yields seamless gains on detection, while VaOPD further enables efficient capability evolvement without sacrificing existing performance.
