Abstract

In Today’s date plagiarism is a very important aspect because content originality is the client's prior requirement. Many people on the internet use others' images and get publicity while the owner of the image or data won′t get anything out of it. Many users copy the data or image features from the other users and modify it a little bit or create an artificial replica of it. With sufficient computational power and volume of data, the GAN models are capable enough to produce fake images that look very much similar to the real images. These kinds of images are generally not detected by modern plagiarism systems. GAN stands for generative adversarial network. It has two neural networks working inside. The first one is the generator which generates a random image and the second one is the discriminator which identifies whether the image being generated is a real or a fake image. In this paper, we have proposed a system that has been trained on both fake images (GAN Generated images) and real images and will help us in flagging whether the image is plagiarised or a real image.
