Obscura

• 

  Website frontend.

Inspiration

Seeing AI-generated photos mislead social media, we wanted a simple, trustworthy tool that tells people whether an image is synthetic or real.

What it does

Obscura lets you drag-and-drop any picture. It outputs:

A truth score (0-100 %) showing AI likelihood.

A quick “Real / Fake” verdict.

How we built it

Trained a Vision-Transformer in TensorFlow on real vs. AI pictures

Challenges we ran into

Base ViT nearly filled VRAM; random OOM crashes. Model latched onto obvious diffusion artifacts and failed on subtle fakes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Turned a weekend idea into a live tool.

Anyone can drag a photo and get an answer in seconds.

We kept the whole stack lightweight and easy to share.

What we learned

Good datasets beat fancy tweaks.

What's next for Obscura

Detect short video, roll out a browser extension, and open a pay-as-you-go API.
