Field Notes · On the Persistence of Light
A visual field study of shorelines, interiors and night streets. Every frame below is scored by PxShield inside your browser: a local model marks the images it believes were generated.
Try PxShield01 · First frames
The first frames mix recorded and synthesized scenes. Some of these surfaces are real; some of them are learned. The difference is exactly what PxShield is looking for.
02 · Interior weather
Light through glass behaves differently than light through a generator. The model has opinions either way.
03 · Neon and sodium
Night city frames are the hardest to trust. Sodium vapor, rain on asphalt, and diffusion models share a fondness for glow.
“You can’t prove where a photon came from. You can only learn to be suspicious of it.” · field notes
04 · The quiet machine
The last set is a test of stillness: objects, animals, and the kind of light that machines like to imitate the most.
