摘要
Localizing AI-edited regions is essential for interpretable forensic analysis, but remains challenging due to subtle and spatially distributed artifacts that are misaligned with semantic or object boundaries. Existing approaches rely on pixel-level supervision from controlled editing pipelines, which is difficult to scale and can introduce misleading signals: artifacts frequently extend beyond annotated regions, while out-of-mask pixels are treated as authentic. This limits models' ability to capture transferable evidence and generalize across generators and datasets. To address these issues, we propose ReGFLoW, a Reconstruction-Guided Fake Localization framework under Weak supervision, which is the first weakly supervised approach for diffusion-edited fake region localization. ReGFLoW requires only real/fake labels at the image-level and uses diffusion reconstruction errors as dense spatial guidance to inject them into both feature and score spaces. Furthermore, by artifact-centric multiple instance learning, ReGFLoW utilizes localized diffusion evidence without relying on semantic-affinity or boundary-based pseudo-mask priors. Extensive experiments show competitive cross-generator localization, while ReGFLoW outperforms all evaluated fully supervised baselines when evaluation includes both partially edited and fully synthetic images and in cross-dataset tests, without target-domain adaptation.
