The technology uses image stabilization and artificial intelligence to extract audio from still images and muted videos.
Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a way to extract audio from both still photos and muted videos using artificial intelligence.“Most of the cameras today have what's called image stabilization hardware,” said Kevin Fu, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Northeastern University.
Basically, these small movements can be interpreted into rudimentary audio that Side Eye artificial intelligence can then interpret into individual words with high accuracies, according to the research team. “You're able to get thousands of samples per second. What does this mean? It means you basically get a very rudimentary microphone,” Fu said.Even though the recovered audio sounds muffled, some pieces of information can be extracted.
“Things like understanding what is the gender of the speaker, not on camera but in the room while the photograph or video is being taken, that's nearly 100% accurate,” he said.“For instance in legal cases or in investigations of either proving or disproving somebody’s presence, it gives you evidence that can be backed up by science of whether somebody was likely in the room speaking or not,” Fu said.
“This is one more tool we can use to bring authenticity to evidence, potentially to investigations, but also trying to solve criminal applications,” he said.

Researchers investigate role of water molecules in formation of condensates in cellsIn order to fulfill their function, biological cells need to be divided into separate reaction compartments. This is sometimes done with membranes, and sometimes without them: the spontaneous segregation of certain types of biomolecules leads to the formation of so-called condensates. Why and under which circumstances they form is currently being researched.
