WKBW-TV interviewed Siwei Lyu, SUNY Empire Innovation Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, about a new tool his lab created that can help identify deepfake photos.
The tool analyzes light reflections in a subject’s eyes. “We look into the eyes of the images. If it’s a real photograph the two eyes see exactly the same things,” Lyu said. He said that our corneas are very reflective so they pop up in high-resolution photos, but in a real photo the reflection spots are in the same position on both eyes.
