The AutoSplice dataset was proposed in the CVPR2023 Workshop on Media Forensics paper "AutoSplice: A Text-prompt Manipulated Image Dataset for Media Forensics", which leverages the DALL-E2 [^1] language-image model to automatically generate and splice masked regions guided by a text prompt. It consists of 5,894 manipulated and authentic images.

Summary

The database contains 3, 621 images by locally or globally manipulating real-world images, and 2, 273 authentic images.

Three JPEG compression versions along with their manipulation masks and captions are included,

• JPEG-100, lossless compression with a JPEG quality factor of 100;
• JPEG-90, gently lossy compression with a JPEG quality factor of 90;
• JPEG-75, lossy compression with a JPEG factor of 75 (the same as the authentic images derived from the Visual News dataset[^2]), used for fine-tuning tasks.
