PixelPhantomX: Ghost images to confuse AI models

PixelPhantomX is a powerful image obfuscation tool designed to generate ghost images that confuse AI models. In an era where generative AI scrapes and repurposes artwork without the consent of creators, this tool acts as a defensive mechanism. By applying various adversarial techniques, such as noise injection, color-space manipulation, edge distortion, and watermarking, PixelPhantomX helps protect digital images from unauthorized AI training and exploitation.

Features

• Adversarial Noise Injection (Inspired by Glaze & Nightshade)
• Customizable Noise Levels (Min/Max)
• Watermarking (Visible & Invisible Steganographic Protection)
• Edge Distortion for AI Confusion
• Metadata Poisoning to mislead AI training
• Command-line Interface for easy use

Installation

Direct Install from PyPI

pip install PixelPhantomX

Alternatively, install via setup.py:

git clone https://github.com/AdityaBhatt3010/PixelPhantomX
python setup.py install

Otherwise, install the required dependencies:

Usage

Run the tool via the command line:

python PixelPhantomX.py -iP input_image_path -n noise -oP output_image_path -w watermark_text

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
-iP	Path to the input image (with extension)
-n	Noise level (Min or Max)
-oP	Output image path (without extension)
-w	Custom watermark text (default: Protected)

Example:

python PixelPhantomX.py -iP Input.png -oP Output -n Min -w AdityaBhatt3010
