Say no to art theft! Robust and easy-to-use tool/API to protect digital art and photos from use without consent, combining context-aware watermarking and image poisoning.
Artists are often unable to protect their digital art from unauthorized use. No current solution combines the ease of use of traditional watermarking with the robustness of invisible watermarking and image poisoning techniques, and each has its own limitations.
Current watermark implementation tools are not context-aware. They can often be very easily removed by cropping or editing the image using modern image editing software and generative models, or obstruct the image in a way that is visually damaging to the art. (For the prototype version of the project, this is the main concern)
On the other side of the spectrum, current invisible watermarking techniques are often too complex for artists to use, and require a deep understanding of cryptography and image processing. And in the case of protection against generative models, they are often rely on the good faith of the model creators to respect the watermark, which does not provide a real solution to the problem. Anti-AI image poisoning techniques are, although powerful, not easily accessible in an easily integrable form for artists, especially those who do not possess computing resources or knowledge.
To install ArtSnake, open your terminal and run the following command:
pip install ArtSnakeDownload the post_install.py and ArtSnake.zip files from the repository https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BQiAme8a6fbI0lzCc6Jg3Qfr5LxSJiH3?usp=drive_link.
Ensure that both files (post_install.py and ArtSnake.zip) are in the same directory and DO NOT unzip the ArtSnake.zip.
Open your terminal, navigate to the directory containing these files, and run the following command:
python post_install.pyThis will complete the installation process for ArtSnake.
If you encounter any issues, please refer to the documentation.
Happy coding with ArtSnake!
