These photos are shot by professional photographers and are perfect for use as representational images. However, Google has found out a way to remove those watermarks and strip them off from their copyrights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Tali Dekel and Michael Rubinstein \u2014 Google research scientists have demonstrated how easily they can remove watermarks from professional images available on the Internet. The researchers discovered that all watermarks are remarkably similar in opacity, size and colours. Therefore, they developed an algorithm that was smart enough to identify these watermarks from any image on the web and remove it without any trace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The team, however, did it to help the stock image companies. They demonstrated that a simple algorithm can deny the photographers of their efforts and money. They suggested that stock image websites should adopt a more sophisticated watermarking method, something that\u2019s random and not repetitive. Watermarks need to have a variation so that algorithms like these could be fooled and disrupted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/www.deccanchronicle.com\/technology\/in-other-news\/190817\/googles-algorithm-can-strip-images-of-their-copyrights.html<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/googles-algorithm-can-strip-images-of-their-copyrights.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google&#8217;s algorithm can strip images of their copyrights Google researchers showed that a lack of randomness in stock image watermarks makes them susceptible to stealing easily.
