Image manipulation is just about as old as photography itself but in the modern era, it’s not hard to imagine it becoming an existential crisis. In fact, deep fake technology takes advantage of AI to create realistic fake images and videos.

Social medias have a strong willingness to prevent the spread of fake multimedia data or misinformation on their social media eco-systems. To combat the spread of fake imagery, a new way of built-in watermarking in next generation camera systems is proposing.

In built-in watermarking in the future camera systems, the hidden watermark is embedded into photo/video at the same time of capturing that photo/video using AI and hardware.

Here are the main steps:

• Using hardware and AI to embed watermark/ aircrafts at the same time of capturing.

• Easily Verify authentication of multimedia on the internet or social media as each captured image/video has an robust identity and fragile watermark.

• Make image/video and audio which are forensics-friendly.

Your future camera may watermark images automatically, whether you want it to or not.
