Researchers from Quebec University’s Institute National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), have developed what they claim as the  world’s fastest camera capable of capturing 10 trillion frames per second . On the other hand, an average smartphone camera manages to capture around 30 per second. The project was led by Caltech’s Lihong Wang along with Jinyang Liang, INRS professor, and ultrafast imaging specialist and his colleagues. Dubbed as T-CUP, the new device is so quick that it literally makes it possible to freeze time to see phenomena such as light itself behave in extremely slow motion. To build their camera, the researchers looked at compressed ultra-fast photography (CUP), a technique that can capture images at a speed of around 10 trillion frames per second. T-CUP’s system is based on a femtosecond (one quadrillionth of a second) streak camera that also involves a data acquisition type used in applications such as tomogr...

A team of researchers from the  University of Albany  has developed a method of combat Deepfakes videos, using machine learning techniques to search videos for digital “fingerprints” left behind when a video has been altered. One of the biggest concerns in the tech world over the past couple of years has been the rise of Deepfakes. Deepfakes are a type of fake video constructed by artificial intelligence algorithms run through deep neural networks, and the products of the combat deepfakes technology are shockingly good – sometimes difficult to tell apart from a real, genuine video. Artificial Intelligence Being Trained To Combat DeepFakes AI researchers, ethicists, and political scientists are worried that the combat Deepfakes technology will eventually be used to impact political elections, disseminating misinformation in a form more convincing than a fake news story. In order to provide some defense against the manipulation and misinformation that combat Deepfakes can cause, research...
