It is verified in existing works that CNN-based generative models leave unique fingerprints on generated images. There is a lack of analysis about how they are formed in generative models. Interpreting network components in the frequency domain, we derive sources for frequency distribution and grid-like pattern discrepancies exhibited on the spectrum. These insights are leveraged to develop low-cost synthetic models, which generate images emulating the frequency patterns observed in real generative models. The resulting fingerprint extractor pre-trained on synthetic data shows superior transferability in verifying, identifying, and analyzing the relationship of real CNN-based generative models such as GAN, VAE, Flow, and diffusion.
