Obscur

Detect AI images and video frames patch by patch — the obscur.rao.nyc detector, one right-click or tap away. A research preview.

Obscur — verify reality, one image at a time. AI-generated images are everywhere, and the tells that used to give them away — extra fingers, melted text — are disappearing fast. Obscur reads an image the way a forensic tool would: not "does this look fake," but whether the physical fingerprints a real camera sensor leaves behind are actually there. What it does Right-click any image on the web and choose Obscur. In a couple of seconds you get a verdict — real, AI-generated, or a synthetic render — laid over the image itself, patch by patch, so you can see where the evidence is rather than taking a number on faith. Hover over a large image or a video and a small Obscur medallion appears — one tap runs the same analysis. On video, Obscur grabs the current frame straight from the player, so you can check a clip mid-scroll without saving anything. What you see A real ↔ AI scale with both the weighted verdict and the tile-by-tile majority vote, so you can tell a confident call from a close one. Heatmap overlays — AI likelihood per region, the camera sensor map, and which patches actually drove the verdict. The specialist stack — the individual models that voted (sensor noiseprint, camera warp-fusion, AI-art detectors, render arbiter) and what each one concluded. When they disagree, you see it. Capture signature — whether a genuine camera-capture fingerprint is present at all. Why install it Because "trust me" isn't evidence. Obscur shows its work: every verdict comes with the regions, the scores, and the dissenting specialists behind it. It's the same detector that runs at obscur.rao.nyc/detect, one right-click away on any page — no uploading, no tab-switching, no account. Honest limits — please read This is a research preview. The detector is tuned to the physics of the iPhone camera sensor, and it's strongest on ordinary photographs. Treat verdicts on screenshots, scans, heavily edited images, and non-photographic art as advisory, not conclusive. It's a lens, not a lie detector — each release iterates it toward a general reality verifier. Privacy Images you choose to analyze are sent to obscur.rao.nyc for inference and are not stored. Obscur only ever sees the specific image or frame you select — it never scans pages, reads your browsing, or acts on its own. Settings The hover medallion on images can be turned off entirely, or given a minimum size so avatars and thumbnails stay quiet while full-size photos stay one tap away.
