The newly awarded patent for PureTech Systems addresses both the detection of falling incidents, as well as, overboard movements onto structures, such as cargo ships with the use of a Deep Learning neural network. In addition to providing necessary information to ships, the newly patented system can also be applied to anywhere a fall could occur.
Two-pronged Technique Detects Manipulated Facial Expressions and Identity Swaps
Computer scientists at UC Riverside can detect manipulated facial expressions in deepfake videos with higher accuracy than current state-of-the-art methods. The method also works as well as current methods in cases where the facial identity, but not the expression, has been swapped, leading to a generalized approach to detect any kind of facial manipulation. The achievement brings researchers a step closer to developing automated tools for detecting manipulated videos that contain propaganda or misinformation.
