The development of generative artificial intelligence has allowed fake photos to rise to incredible levels. Now deep fake Even the most careful person can have difficulty understanding whether an image is real or not.
Researchers are also working to solve this situation and detect fake photos. A new study is one of them. According to experts, fake images Using a tactic used by astronomers understandable.
Inconsistencies in the eyes show the image is a deepfake

*The image on the left is real, the image on the right is deepfake.
In research presented to the Royal Astronomical Society earlier this week, scientists said they were able to integrate a method by examining photographs of galaxies into deepfake images, by analyzing the eyes.

*These eyes are all fake.
Actually the method is quite simple. Experts say the people in the pictures Whether it is fake or not, you can see from the reflection in your students. says. It is clear that if the reflections in the two eyes match, the photo is likely real, and if they do not match, it is likely a deepfake.
We can understand this if we look closely at the shared sample images and the fake images that we encounter in our daily lives. We can see that there is no realistic reflection in the eyes in the deepfake images. Professor Kevin Pimbblet from the University of Hull in the UK also says the following about the method: “The reflections in the pupils are consistent in the real person, but appear inaccurate in the fake person.”
In the astronomy method that inspired it, researchers use similar approaches to measure the shapes of galaxies and better understand them, by analyzing whether they are symmetric or not and their light distribution.
You could say that the method of recognizing pupils could be useful in many current deepfake photos. However, given the rapid development of artificial intelligence, it would not be wrong to predict that these inconsistencies in the eyes will diminish in a few years. Then it is a matter of curiosity whether this method will work or not.
