DINO-FIL: Multi-Layer Transformer Fusion for Generative Inpainting Forgery Localization
arXiv:2610.21780v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose DINO-FIL, a transformer-based framework for pixel-level localization of generative image forgeries. The method leverages multi-layer representations from a pretrained DINOv3 ViT-H+/16 encoder combined with a lightweight fusion decoder to capture both semantic structure and fine-grained texture inconsistencies introduced by image editing. By aggregating intermediate transformer features across depths, the model improves sensitivity to…
