Abstract

Recent advances in conditional image generation have led to powerful personalized generation models that generate high-resolution artistic images based on simple text descriptions through tuning. However, the abuse of personalized generation models may also increase the risk of plagiarism and the misuse of artists’ painting styles. In this paper, we propose a novel method called Protecting Artworks from Personalizing Image Generative Models framework (PAG) to safeguard artistic images from the malicious use of generative models. By injecting learned target perturbations into the original artistic images, we aim to disrupt the tuning process and introduce the distortions that protect the authenticity and integrity of the artist’s style. Furthermore, human evaluations suggest that our PAG model offers a feasible and effective way to protect artworks, preventing the personalized generation models from generating similar images to the given artworks.
