Abstract

This project aims to identify fake images using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). With the rise of

AI-generated images (deepfakes, GANs), ensuring image authenticity is critical. Our system processes

images and determines whether they are real or fake by learning key patterns in pixel data using deep CNN

architectures. The project incorporates dataset preprocessing, model training, evaluation, and an interface for

user interaction and prediction.

1. Introduction

Fake image identification is an emerging field critical to digital forensics and media integrity. Due to

increasing accessibility of image generation tools like GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), the ability to

detect synthetic media is vital. CNNs have proven to be effective in identifying spatial patterns and features in

image classification tasks. This project applies CNNs to detect forged or fake images through a supervised

learning approach.

2. Literature Review

Several studies have explored the use of CNNs for image classification and forgery detection. In recent

years, models such as XceptionNet and VGG-19 have been fine-tuned to detect deepfakes. Research by

Zhou et al. (2023) used frequency domain analysis combined with CNNs to achieve high accuracy in fake

image classification. We adopt a simpler CNN architecture trained from scratch to evaluate how well spatial

patterns alone can distinguish image authenticity.

3. Objectives / Aims

- Develop an efficient and accessible CNN-based system for fake image detection.

- Train and evaluate the model using a dataset of real and fake images.

- Build a user interface for uploading images and viewing predictions.

- Promote digital security by detecting manipulated media.

4. Research Method / Methodology

The system architecture is divided into:

Presentation Layer:

- Built using Flask and HTML/CSS.

- Users can upload images and receive classification results in real-time.

Application Layer:

- Handles image preprocessing: resize (128x128), normalization, and conversion to RGB.

- Sends data to the CNN model for prediction.

Model Layer:

- Custom CNN architecture:

* Conv2D -> ReLU -> MaxPooling

* Repeated 3 times

* Flatten -> Dense -> Softmax

- Trained using categorical crossentropy loss and Adam optimizer.

- Dataset: Real vs Fake Image Dataset from Kaggle (5,000+ images).

- Accuracy achieved: ~90%.

5. Results / Findings

The trained CNN achieved the following metrics on test data:

- Accuracy: 90.2%

- Precision: 89.7%

- Recall: 91.3%

- F1 Score: 90.4%

The system effectively distinguishes real images from fake with high confidence. Grad-CAM visualizations

highlight image regions critical for classification, increasing model interpretability.

6. Conclusion / Summary

This project demonstrates the viability of using CNNs for fake image detection. By leveraging spatial pattern

recognition, our system can classify forged images accurately. Such tools can serve digital forensic experts,

social media platforms, and content verifiers. Future work may involve integrating frequency domain features

and training on more diverse datasets including video frames.
