I2VShield: Proactive Defense Against DiT-Based Image-to-Video Models

ai-technology · 2026-07-29

Researchers propose I2VShield, a generative adversarial attack method to protect privacy against Diffusion Transformer (DiT)-based image-to-video (I2V) models. Current proactive defenses rely on gradient-based attacks requiring high GPU memory, but I2VShield reduces computational overhead via a text-adaptive perturbation framework and an untargeted Multimodal Attention Disruption (MAD) attack. The method aims to prevent misuse of I2V models while maintaining visual imperceptibility.
