Chapter 503 501. Can you think of something better?
"Is this a bad joke? A spoof video?" Ai Xiaomi asked doubtfully, not understanding the nature of the video that Boss Cao showed her.
For fun?
Can I sell this software in the future?
Can I change my teacher any time I want?
Wow.
Ai Xiaomi closed her eyes and meditated for two seconds, and suddenly felt a little excited.
Doesn't that mean that the male protagonists who she thought were ugly before can be replaced by idols with good features?
It's quite bad fun.
Liu Guangran nodded in agreement. Sometimes after watching too many videos, the boss now feels that he has a clear face.
There is a heart-pounding feeling.
Cao Yang winked at Liu Guangran, "Go on, put down one."
"Ah?! No, boss." Liu Guangran said with some embarrassment.
Ai Xiaomi noticed the struggling expression on his face and wondered what happened in the next paragraph?
Why is Liu Guangran so resistant?
"You can't just let me go." Cao Yang said, "It's crazy."
Liu Guangran had no choice but to play the next video.
Still the same content, still the same taste, still the same formula.
Only this time the heroine's face was replaced by Liu Guangran's.
"Ah! My eyes, my eyes!"
Ai Xiaomi shouted, covering her eyes.
Not to mention the boss's delicate features, before the original film was played, it really didn't feel out of place when the boss's face was changed to that of Mr. Hatano. But now it is replaced by Liu Guangran, which is really eye-catching.
But Ai Xiaomi couldn't stop laughing.
"Do you understand?" After the playback, Cao Yang leaned on the table in the conference room and looked at Ai Xiaomi expectantly.
"Yeah, I understand." Ai Xiaomi nodded seriously.
"Be able to put one person's face on another person's body."
"How did you do it? It's so amazing. Did you find someone to make photos of the pictures frame by frame?"
"How could it be possible to use such a stupid method?" Liu Guangran said with great disdain, "Didn't the boss just say that? This is the latest fakeface technology developed by our department. You don't need to know the specific algorithm. The principle is actually very simple. , because people's expressions are often the same, we need to collect some feature data of two different faces, and then match them with the target object, so that the target object's face is as close as possible.
At the same time, we will also have a software specially used to identify authenticity and fakeness. One software will continue to identify, and the other software will continue to falsify, until the identification software cannot distinguish between the two faces, it means success. "
Liu Guangran and the others originally created this function to verify whether the facial recognition technology on their mobile phones worked well, but they didn't expect that Boss Cao would end up falling in love with this fake face.
As for the specific use, whether it can be applied to business, and whether it will cause infringement of portrait rights, Liu Guangran is not yet sure.
In short, Cao Yang repeatedly told them not to let this software spread to the market without his consent.
He wants to use this technology to do something big.
So Cao Yang brought Liu Guangran and Ai Xiaomi together today.
Liu Guangran guessed that the big ticket price must be related to the movie, otherwise Ai Xiaomi wouldn't be here.
After Liu Guangran's explanation, Ai Xiaomi was confused, but she already understood one thing -
Regardless of the implementation principle of this thing, it is fully capable of exchanging two unrelated faces.
That's what I saw just now, the boss's face appeared on the teacher's body, and the same thing happened to Liu Guangran.
Well…
"Boss, please don't be so ruthless next time you demonstrate. Just let yourself go. Let Liu Guangran go free to make people have nightmares at night."
Liu Guangran rolled his eyes and said angrily in his heart:
Do you think I am willing?
I'm really sorry for dirtying your eyes.
Aren't they all forced by the boss?
"So do you understand?" Cao Yang asked Ai Xiaomi.
"Yeah." Ai Xiaomi nodded seriously, "I completely understand. You can put one person's face on another person's body."
"So how to use it specifically?" Ai Xiaomi asked back.
"Why?"
Ai Xiaomi's question made Cao Yang laugh.
Others rush to answer, but you have learned to rush to ask questions.
Isn't this what I want to ask you?
"What do you think?" Cao Yang looked at her with a smile, "Just tell me."
"Well…"
Ai Xiaomi touched her chin, feeling a little confused for a moment.
You must have had answers and ideas for this thing you have researched on your own before you asked others to come over.
This is the first time I see you and I feel...
I think…
"Just now Liu Guangran said that this thing is used to deceive face recognition technology. Does that mean that in future face recognition, this thing can be used to deceive recognition machines?
This, this can already be used to commit crimes, right? Ouch! "
Ai Xiaomi was hit **** the head.
Cao Yang rolled his eyes, "Ai Xiaomi, can you think of something better?"
"Well…"
Ai Xiaomi touched her head aggrievedly. The boss seemed to be getting more and more violent.
"Change the face, um, change the face. We can put the appearance of the person we like in the short movie, just like we did just now. After all, the handsome men in the island country are basically ugly. In other words... oops... can you change it? Hit me?"
Before Ai Xiaomi could finish her words, Cao Yang raised his hand and hit his head again.
Cao Yang looked like he hated iron.
"I thought the first half was good, but I didn't expect it to be so nasty later on.
Ai Xiaomi, I misjudged you. "
"You asked me to tell you."
Ai Xiaomi said aggrievedly.
Sometimes people are too upright, and it's not good to expose their inner thoughts. It's better to change your face on the computer than to find a real person, right?
It can also stabilize law and order.
"Well, since the first half is correct, then..."
Before Ai Xiaomi finished speaking, Cao Yang raised his hand early.
"Stop fighting, I already know," Ai Xiaomi quickly covered her head, "Really, I was just joking."
Hum.
Cao Yang put his hand down.
That's pretty much it.
This guy has been following me for so many years, and if he is still so irrelevant, it is really too much.
However, if Liu Guangran knew what Cao Yang was thinking now, he would probably also think -
Isn't it true that there are just as many soldiers as there are generals?
Ai Xiaomi's wild and wild ideas, didn't they all learn from you?
This time Ai Xiaomi changed her serious expression, sat on the chair with her hands folded, and said seriously, "Well, this technology seems to have quite some advantages. We originally thought about it when we were working on The Wandering Earth. How can we simplify some more complex tasks.
For example, when filming some dangerous actions, a stand-in is often used. During post-production, the exposed upper part will be cut off as much as possible. If this technology is available now, that is to say, even if a stand-in is used, , it doesn't matter if your face is shown, you just need to replace the protagonist's face with the stand-in after the filming is completed.
It can achieve the effect of being fake and real. If I hadn't looked carefully just now, I really wouldn't have noticed that the woman was actually the boss.
Oh, of course, Liu Guangran said that was a bit too much. "
"Um…"
Thinking of this, Ai Xiaomi fell into deep thought again, "You can tell something is wrong with Liu Guangran at a glance. Does this mean that even if you change your face, it is best to find two faces that are relatively similar, so that the effect will be perfect? ?”
"Yes." Liu Guangran nodded, "After all, the shape of a person's face is mainly determined by the bone structure. When we exchange the face, the outer contour is difficult to change. It does not mean that we can directly change the head.
So if you really want to use this technology, like what you just said, to replace the protagonist's face with a stand-in, then try to find a stand-in with a similar face shape. "
"Oh, I understand." Ai Xiaomi nodded seriously.
"Well, you are on the right track." Cao Yang smiled happily, "This is just one of the ways to use it. What I need you to make is a movie that can surprise the whole world."
"Huh?" Ai Xiaomi opened her mouth in confusion.
She hasn't figured out the link yet.
Why can a face change make a movie great?
“In addition to being used to test [face recognition] technology, when AI face-changing matures, it can have many application areas.
My idea is that this thing can be applied to the fields of film, television and games, which can save a lot of unnecessary resource expenses and make the characters more vivid. "
Cao Yang explained, "For example, for a movie, as you just said, it requires the actor to shoot for a long time, but the actor cannot keep up with the schedule due to some reasons. At this time, a stuntman can be used to shoot first. Later, AI face-changing was used to replace the actor's face.
The star actor only needs to record a series of expressions accordingly.
Of course, this is something that can be done in theory, but we may not necessarily do it.
And this technology will be really useful for future science fiction movies.
It can greatly reduce the cost of special effects films.
For example, you and Zhuang Yurou are going to watch Avatar tonight. Sam Worthington plays both an American pancake and a blue-skinned alien. Although it is made using computer synthesis, there is no AI face-changing. Previously, this process would have been very complicated.
After using AI face replacement, you only need to have a corresponding model and enough samples, and then replace it. "
"Boss, I haven't watched this movie yet, can you please stop spoiling it?" Ai Xiaomi said angrily.
Xiaomi was very angry, she was serious about the movie.
"Me? What did I spoil? Just because the male protagonist and the Avatar are the same person?"
"Huh!" Ai Xiaomi wrinkled her nose and signaled him to stop talking.
Cao Yang raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, I'm just giving you an example. Just understand what I mean."
"And it will be the same when making games in the future. As long as we build enough sample libraries, we won't have to worry about redesigning and making individual game models in the future. We can completely replace them with AI to get the desired model effect. .
To put it simply, for example, if you want to link Mecha Girl and Assassin's Soul, and make one of the images in Mecha Girl look like [Maple], then an AI replacement can achieve this goal. "
"OK, I understand completely."
Ai Xiaomi nodded seriously.
Although I say I understand it completely, I don't seem to understand it completely.
What Cao Yang just said just gave her some inspiration. Although Ai Xiaomi now understands what this thing is used for, there are only some scattered fragments in her mind, and they have not been fully implemented enough to actually apply them in movies. degree.
To put it bluntly, there is no complete and orderly picture in Ai Xiaomi's brain.
"Next, I want to show you a real treasure." Cao Yang said with a smile, "This is what I want you to make."
"what?"
Ai Xiaomi felt a little panicked.
I don't know why, after seeing so many amazing things just now, the boss actually has an even more amazing treasure. This thing has exceeded Ai Xiaomi's expectations.
People will be afraid and nervous when facing the unknown.
Ai Xiaomi is no exception.
Cao Yang winked at Liu Guangran, who started playing according to his request.
An image immediately appeared on the big screen, and a loud sound came from the computer.
"Uh~oh, ugh! Hurry..."
Liu Guangran only glanced at it and quickly turned off the video.
"Sorry, I put the wrong movie."
Cao Yang turned around and stared at him angrily.
"Okay, the whole world knows that you like Liu Yifei. But please don't make fun of her, okay? She has signed a contract with us, and we will continue to cooperate in the future.
What if this thing leaks out and is prosecuted?
The impact is very bad, okay? "
"Yeah, I know I was wrong." Liu Guangran nodded.
"No, you go back and delete it for me." Cao Yang said in a very serious tone.
It would be slightly better if ordinary people used this software. Now Liu Guangran represents not only himself, but the entire company, and if he uses this software to change his face without asking for other people's consent, he can really be sued in court. of.
Cao Yang didn't want to make a big mistake in the future.
"You might end up in jail. Don't let me fire you and cut ties with you in the future." Cao Yang said very sternly.
Seeing how serious Cao Yang was, Liu Guangran also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"By the way, let your younger brothers tighten this string in their heads."
"Okay boss."
Technology itself is not sinful, but it can be used to commit crimes. If this technology is killed because of this, that will be the biggest loss.
Liu Guangran changed another micro video.
When the video appeared on the projection screen, Ai Xiaomi was so surprised that she covered her mouth.
Tears were already welling up in his eyes unconsciously.
Because what appears in the picture is a character she is very familiar with and loves—
Leslie Cheung.
