Photo and video analysis and tampering detection

 

Unveil the processing history of a digital image

 

Every processing step in the life cycle of an image leaves some distinctive traces in the media. Visual content and metadata can today be easily manipulated to create credible fakes. The image mode in Amped Authenticate provides a suite of powerful tools to leverage these traces and localize manipulated regions, determine whether a media is an unaltered original, an original generated by a specific device, or the result of manipulation using editing software, making its admissibility as evidence questionable in legal proceedings.

 

Unveil the processing history of a digital video

 

The video mode in Amped Authenticate is a considerable advancement in video authentication. Within Amped Authenticate, it is a separate analysis mode dedicated entirely to videos. ​With the video mode, users can cover various video authentication steps, such as detecting inconsistencies, identifying the source device, examining coding details down to the macroblock level, and more. ​It also includes features such as visual inspection, export of processed videos, integration with the image mode, and the Advanced File Info tool.

 

Forensically sound

 

Courtroom admissible

 

Accurate | Repeatable | Reproducible

 

Produce a customizable forensic report ensuring that your results are well explained and reproducible. Without solid ways to validate that the information is accurate, digital images and videos could pose issues when they are presented as evidence in a case and in court. Therefore, thoroughly investigating an image and ensuring its trustworthiness and source is critical in today’s investigations.

 

Validated

 

For every filter in Amped Authenticate, you’ll find bibliographic references in the user manual and, whenever the filter is used, in the generated report. Authenticate contains image and video authentication filters based on tens of scientific papers and studies. When we implement a filter we carry out an experimental validation to check the performance reported in the literature are matched.

Analyze images and videos

 

The Face GAN Deepfake filter first localizes faces within the image and then uses AI to classify each face and provide you with a label and a confidence score between 0 and 1. When the confidence score is above 0.8, the label can either be Real (green color) or Fake (red color).

 

When the score is lower, Authenticate will play it safer and write Uncertain Real or Uncertain Fake.
