The beauty video on Douyin made Chen Xu think of "photo deception", and then immediately thought, can you write an anti-PS software?

It's, for sure!

And he seems to have seen relevant reports in some technology forum, and the anti-beauty technology seems to have been developed.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and went to the study.

Turn on your computer and search for related news.

Really~

In March of this year, Adobe, the originator of PS (Photoshop), announced on its blog that the company has collaborated with scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, to achieve new research results, using artificial intelligence technology, can identify the modified parts of portrait photos, and can also restore the appearance of the original picture.

Using a PS script, the researchers built an extensive image training set using the Face Aware Liquify feature on tens of thousands of images scraped from the Internet.

Then, the convolutional neural network is trained to recognize and restore the "liquefied" facial images.

Adobe hypocritically stated in its blog that we recognized the moral significance of PS technology itself, because PS is a serious and urgent problem that leads to the proliferation of fake images and videos, which is why we developed this technology.

However, Adobe also said that it has no plans to commercialize this latest work for the time being.

This explanation is a typical example of being a watch and wanting to set up a memorial arch.

Of course, Adobe doesn't want to launch, but it doesn't dare to launch, and once it is launched, Adobe's stock price will definitely plummet.

You must know that Adobe launched PhotoshopCC in 2016 in a series of features, one of the most unnatural technologies is the "Face Aware Liquify" function mentioned above.

This feature is very powerful, and its Chinese name is "face perception liquefaction".

That is, the software can first recognize the facial features, and then allow users to make corresponding modifications, such as eye size, spacing, forehead width, thin face, nose height, etc., for example, the mouth that can easily adjust the smile, etc., and this modification also includes the video, which is very perverted.

This technique has been broken by domestic PS masters.

For example, in the spoof picture of "the smile gradually disappears", the first one is the fat tiger in Doraemon, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, revealing an evil smile;

Then the smile gradually disappeared, and finally became the bald Wu Yifan. There is no trace of PS.

There is also the spoof of "gradually intense emotions", Wang Lihong began to purse his lips and smile, green and shy.

Then the corners of the mouth slowly lengthened and enlarged, and finally became the classic picture of "eating" of Brother Xueyou. There is no trace of PS either.

It is precisely because of this anti-sky technology that Adobe's stock price has skyrocketed from $70 per share before 2016 to $270 currently, and its market value has also risen from less than $35 billion to $130 billion now.

The stock price doubles every year.

How dare Adobe launch anti-PS technology?

That's not self-pitting.

But now......

"Hey~" Chen Xu couldn't help but want to laugh.

Face Aware Liquify technology is a piece of cake in front of "intelligent image recognition" technology.

He didn't need to build an image training set like the researchers at Adobe, write a face liquefaction localization and repair script in CX, and recover the modified picture or image.

Just do it.

Under Xiaobai's guidance, Chen Xu began to write the anti-Face Aware Liquify plug-in in CX language.

Unlike other languages, even a single wrong punctuation mark in the code can bring the program to life, staring at the screen for most of the day.

As a resilient language, CX allows the apes to "make mistakes" in the content of the program's rules.

It will make corrections to the code itself depending on the design of the program and the desired result.

This resilience is the charm of the CX language, and one of the main reasons for the shaking of the entire computing world.

In about half an hour, the plugin was written.

In terms of the anti-face liquefaction function, he also wrote the filter removal, dermabrasion, and special effects functions into the plug-in. There are a total of 120 MB in size.

It's a bit big for a plugin.

Chen Xu asked Xiaobai if he could compress it?

Xiaobai said: "It can be compressed! But if it is compressed, it will cause a certain failure rate of liquefaction positioning on the face, and it needs to be reloaded." The targeting failure rate is a minimum of 1% and a maximum of 15%. ”

Chen Xu heard that there was a possibility that the positioning failed, so he still compressed it, "Forget it, 120 is 120, and it can be run as an independent product under Sword and Shield when you turn around." ”

After speaking, Chen Xu downloaded Douyin.

After registration, hang up the "Anti-Face Liquification" plug-in, and then turn on the positioning, repair, filter removal, dermabrasion, and special effects functions.

Then he swiped Tik Tok.

Chen Xu couldn't help but exclaim, "My mother, what the hell is this......"

I saw a woman on the video who looked five short and three thick, with a bucket waist, elephant legs, and a thick powder on her face, scratching her head and posing at the mobile phone camera, saying: "Mingren doesn't say dark things, are you willing to be my boyfriend?"

"Vomit ......" Chen Xu almost didn't vomit.

And this video has 30W likes and 1W+ comments.

Brush down, the daily life of the shovel officer.

Pass.

Brush down, Erha dismantles the daily life.

Pass.

Swipe down, live video, click in and see, a woman at least 30 years old, wearing a double ponytail, wearing a sailor costume student girl, the makeup on her face is really unbearable.

And on the belly exposed under the sailor's suit, which was much shorter, was a blatant circle of swimming rings, and the skin was rough and dull.

What makes people speechless is that the barrage is all saying: "Wow~ Little sister is so beautiful~"

"Cute, I want to *~"

"Little sister, can you add your Wei signal?"

“……”

Chen Xu has watched no less than 100 beauty videos, but what makes people speechless is that these so-called beauties didn't even see an 8-point after removing their beauty, which is simply speechless.

There are also one-third of the profession "photo deception", and after removing the beauty, the real face is really miserable.

Chen Xu feels that PS is really the most anti-human technology in the 21st century.

Then Chen Xu packed up and rushed to the company.

……

In the conference room of Sword and Shield Technology Co., Ltd., several executives of the company are studying the development of the project.

In general, it's still a cliché.

Although the traffic of Sword and Shield is up, the market depth development is still far from that of large companies, and this profit system can not be established overnight, and the brand image needs to be established in the minds of users first, and then the price can be negotiated with customers.

As soon as the meeting ended, everyone walked out of the conference room and saw Chen Xu coming in from the door.

Meng Xianghe saw the irrepressible smile on his face, and couldn't help but say, "Is there anything good about being so happy?"

Chen Xu laughed and said, "It's not just a good thing, it's a great thing!"

"Oh, speak up and listen. ”

As the two talked, several executives who had planned to leave, such as Ma Shengcheng, Lin Weiqiao, and three other directors of the market development department, stopped.

Chen Xu waved his hand excitedly and said, "Sit down, sit down, sit down." Who's that...... Turn the projector on. ”

The crowd didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, and sat down again with curiosity.

After connecting his mobile phone to the projector, Chen Xu said with a smile: "I thought of a fun thing when I was having breakfast at home this morning, and then I wrote a software that can locate and repair liquefied images of the face. ”

Before Meng Xianghe could react to what he meant, Ma Shengcheng, the technical director next to him, had already stood up in shock and asked, "What...... What? Boss you... You're not kidding, are you?"

Lin Weiqiao was also dumbfounded, staring at Chen Xu, thinking that he would say something "joking" in the next second.

But he didn't wait.

Chen Xu smiled: "See for yourself." Saying that, he connected to the projector via Bluetooth, and then opened Douyin and began to brush up.

The more people in the room looked at it, the wider their eyes widened.

Meng Xianghe also reacted quickly, slapped the table and said foully: "~ It turned out to be anti-ps technology." ”

Chen Xu laughed and said, "How is it, do you think this technology can make money?"

Meng Xianghe was also very excited, "Yes, it's so capable~ If this technology is launched, let's lie down at home and count the money and play." ”

Ma Shengcheng and Lin Weiqiao also recovered from the shock.

They thought of one thing, Chen Xu just said that he had just written this software this morning, and he was dumbfounded.

Ma Shengcheng couldn't wait to ask: "Boss, this software really happened to you just wrote this morning?"

Chen Xu said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Ma Shengcheng: "............ The Adobe team and scientists at Berkeley spent half a year building the image training set, and then another half a year by training the convolutional neural network, and finally recognized ......and repaired the image.

Chen Xu pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you know the CX language I developed?"

When Ma Shengcheng and Lin Weiqiao heard this, their faces showed expressions of adoration and nodded vigorously.

"The biggest function of CX language is to help you avoid those meaningless repetitive tasks, such as image training sets and convolutional neural network training ......," Chen said.

Ma Shengcheng said weakly, "Those ...... Not meaningless labor. ”

Chen Xu said: "In the CX language, this is meaningless labor.

Their essence is to demonstrate through a large number of examples, so that computers form inertial thinking;

Just like a cat or dog training, throw a plate for it to hold, give it a piece of candy when you hold it, and beat it if you can't hold it.

The CX language doesn't do this pointless labor, it implants the ability to hold a plate directly into their genes from the start, and it also allows them to tell whether you are throwing a plate or a dagger, a glass bottle, a firecracker, or a bomb. ”

"......" Hearing Chen Xu's vivid analogy, Ma Shengcheng showed a shocked expression on his face, "Really...... Really?"

Chen Xu smiled: "You study hard, and when you learn CX language, you will find a whole new world." ”

Ma Shengcheng and Lin Weiqiao both showed yearning looks on their faces.

Meng Xianghe didn't care much about CX language, and he had fallen into a huge surprise at this time.

Anti-PS such a "demon mirror" software will 100% cause a huge sensation in the market......
