Appearance and voice theft

Appearance is thieved with digital look-alikes and voice is thieved with digital sound-alikes. These are new and very extreme forms of identity theft. Ban covert modeling and possession and doing anything with a model of a human's voice, but don't ban the Adequate Porn Watcher AI (concept).


Bidirectional reflectance distribution function

Diagram showing vectors used to define the w:BRDF.

“The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is a function of four real variables that defines how light is reflected at an opaque surface. It is employed in the optics of real-world light, in computer graphics algorithms, and in computer vision algorithms.”

~ Wikipedia on BRDF


A BRDF model is a 7 dimensional model containing geometry, textures and reflectance of the subject.

The seven dimensions of the BRDF model are as follows:

  • 3 cartesian X,Y,Z
  • 2 for the entry angle
  • 2 for the exit angle of the light.

See wikidata:Q856980 for translations, descriptions and links to WMF wikis about BRDF.


Burqa

Some humans in w:burqas a the Bornholm burka happening

“A burqa, also known as chadri or paranja in Central Asia, is an enveloping outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions to cover themselves in public, which covers the body and the face.”

~ Wikipedia on burqas


See wikidata:Q167884 for translations, descriptions and links to WMF wikis about burqas.


Covert modeling

Covert modeling refers to both covertly modeling aspects of a subject i.e. without express consent.

Main known cases are

There is work ongoing to model e.g. human's style of writing, but this is probably not as drastic a threat as the covert modeling of appearance and of voice.

Deepfake

A side-by-side comparison of videos. To the left, a scene from the 2013 motion picture w:Man of Steel (film). To the right, the same scene modified using w:deepfake technology.

Man of Steel produced by DC Entertainment and Legendary Pictures, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Modification done by Reddit user "derpfakes".

This is a sample from a copyrighted video recording. The person who uploaded this work and first used it in an article, and subsequent people who use it in articles, assert that this qualifies as fair use.

Deepfake (a portmanteau of "deep learning" and "fake") is a technique for human image synthesis based on artificial intelligence. It is used to combine and superimpose existing images and videos onto source images or videos using a machine learning technique called a "generative adversarial network" (GAN).”

~ Wikipedia on Deepfakes

DARPA

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as DARPA has been active in the field of countering synthetic fake video for longer than the public has been aware of the problems existing.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (w:DARPA) is an agency of the w:United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military. (Wikipedia)

Digital look-alike

When the camera does not exist, but the subject being imaged with a simulation of a (movie) camera deceives the watcher to believe it is some living or dead person it is a digital look-alike. Alternative term is look-like-anyone-machine.

Saying "digital look-alike of X" would imply possession, but "digital look-alike made of X" is more suited, unless the target really is in possession of it.

Digital sound-alike

When it cannot be determined by human testing, is some synthesized recording a simulation of some person's speech, or is it a recording made of that person's actual real voice, it is a pre-recorded digital sound-alike. Alternative term is sound-like-anyone-machine.

Generative adversial network

An image generated by StyleGAN, a generative adversarial network (GAN), that looks deceptively like a portrait of a young woman.
An image generated by w:StyleGAN, a w:generative adversarial network (GAN), that looks deceptively like a portrait of a young woman.

“A generative adversarial network (GAN) is a class of g systems. Two neural networks contest with each other in a zero-sum game framework. This technique can generate photographs that look at least superficially authentic to human observers,[1] having many realistic characteristics. It is a form of unsupervised learning]].[2]


See wikidata:Q25104379 for translations, descriptions and links to WMF wikis about GANs.


Human image synthesis

Human image synthesis can be applied to make believable and even photorealistic of human-likenesses, moving or still. This has effectively been the situation since the early 2000s. Many films using computer generated imagery have featured synthetic images of human-like characters digitally composited onto the real or other simulated film material.”

Institute for Creative Technologies

The Institute for Creative Technologies was founded in 1999 in the University of Southern California by the United States Army. It collaborates with the w:United States Army Futures Command, w:United States Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, w:Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center and w:United States Army Research Laboratory.

Light stage

Original w:light stage used in the 1999 reflectance capture by Debevec et al.

It consists of two rotary axes with height and radius control. Light source and a polarizer were placed on one arm and a camera and the other polarizer on the other arm.

Niqāb

Image of a human wearing a w:niqāb

“A niqab or niqāb ("[face] veil"; also called a ruband) is a garment of clothing that covers the face, worn by some muslim women as a part of a particular interpretation of hijab (modest dress).”

~ Wikipedia on Niqābs


See wikidata:Q210583 for translations, descriptions and links to WMF wikis about niqābs.


No camera

No camera (!) refers to the fact that a simulation of a camera is not a camera. If people realize the differences, and thus the different restrictions by many types of laws e.g. physics, physiology. Analogously see #No microphone, usually seen below this entry.


No microphone

No microphone is needed when using synthetic voices as you just model them, without needing to capture. Analogously see the entry #No camera, usually seen above this entry.


Reflectance capture

Reflectance capture is made by measuring the reflected light for each incoming light direction and every exit direction, often with many different wavelengths. Using polarisers allow to separately capture the specular and the diffuse reflected light. The first known reflectance capture over the human face was made in 1999 by Paul Debevec et al at the w:University of Southern California.

As of 2020-11-19 Wikipedia does not have an article on reflectance capture.


Relighting

Each image images a face in synthesized lighting. The lower images represent the captured illumination map. The images are generated taking a dot product of each pixel’s reflectance function with the illumination map.

Relighting means applying a completely different w:lighting situation to an image or video which has already been imaged. As of 2020-09 the English Wikipedia does not have an article on relighting.

Since 2021-03-15 a w:Relighting is a redirect to w:Polynomial texture mapping.

w:Polynomial texture mapping (PTM), also known as Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), is a technique of w:digital imaging and w:interactively displaying objects under varying w:lighting conditions to reveal surface phenomena. (Wikipedia)

Synthetic terror porn is pornography synthesized with terrorist intent. Synthetic rape porn is probably by far the most prevalent form of this, but it must be noted that synthesizing concensual looking sex scenes can also be terroristic in intent and effect.
