利用频谱分形自相似性，实现跨生成模型的AI图像检测。

With the rapid development of image synthesis techniques, AI-generated images have become increasingly realistic, which heightens the potential risk associated with their misuse and creates a growing need for reliable detection. However, the growing diversity of generative models makes it increasingly difficult for detectors to generalize to images produced by unseen generators. Most existing methods rely on artifacts associated with specific generators, which limits their generalization to images produced by unseen models. To address this problem, we investigate structural characteristics arising from the image generation process itself. Image generation fundamentally involves constructing spatially rich content from more compact representations, while preserving the semantic identity of structures across different spatial locations. We formalize these properties through dimension-increasing shift-equivariant transformations and show that such transformations induce a self-similar structure in the Fourier spectrum. Across successive generation stages, this structure can propagate recursively and form a hierarchical fractal self-similar pattern. Consequently, different spectral sub-regions exhibit consistent structural correspondences inherited from the generation process, providing a generator-agnostic cue for detection. Based on this observation, we propose Fractal-CNN, which captures spectral self-similarity rather than generator-specific spectral values. Extensive experiments across diverse GAN- and diffusion-based generators demonstrate that Fractal-CNN achieves strong cross-generator generalization, with an average detection accuracy of 93.93% across 16 test generators.
