[br]Fake media content, particularly photos and videos, is seen as the next wave of misinformation.[br][br]People have started using sophisticated technologies to manipulate photos/videos and mar the public image of high-profile celebs, politicians.[br][br]However, the good news is, you may soon have a way to detect when an image has been modified, thanks to Adobe.[br][br]Here's all about their solution.[br][br][br]Adobe's Photoshop allows for easy facial adjustments[br][br]Adobe's technology, especially Photoshop, has long been serving as a way to make subtle, sometimes even drastic, changes into images.[br][br]You can easily adjust an individual's facial features, expressions, and skin tone using just a handful of Photoshop tools.[br][br]Now, this can be good for memes, but there are also plenty of ethical implications of capabilities like these.[br][br][br]So, the company built AI tool to detect manipulations[br][br]Recognizing the potential impact of its own tech, Adobe worked with a group of researchers from UC Berkeley to come up with an AI tool that can detect manipulations made in images of faces.[br][br]The system relies on machine learning and detects faces that have been modified using Photoshop's Liquify - the tool used to adjust facial features and expressions.[br][br]And, the tool is fairly accurate[br][br]The team trained a neural network using a database of 'Liquify-edited' images (before and after edit pairs).[br][br]The resulting algorithm was able to detect edited images with a whopping 99% accuracy.[br][br]This was way higher than the score of humans, who could only detect photoshopped images 53% of the time; it even suggests how to restore the photo back to its original form.[br][br]However, the tech is still new[br][br]The tech developed by Adobe can detect facial edits, which is an excellent capability.[br][br]However, it's worth noting that the system still needs to evolve to detect more complex changes, such as body manipulations and photometric edits.[br][br]It could be the key to detecting fake photos and videos one day, but currently, there are no plans of turning it into a commercial product.[br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India... |
