Photo and video analysis and tampering detection

Unveil the processing history of a digital image and video

Every processing step in the life cycle of an image or video leaves some distinctive traces in the media. Visual content and metadata can today be easily manipulated to create credible fakes. 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.

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.

Background image

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.

Use filters in the Overview category for a preliminary evaluation of your evidence image: perform a deep visual inspection, with levels adjustment, pixel-fidelity magnification, and side-by-side comparison with possible reference images. Briefly analyze the primary file format elements with Amped Authenticate's automatic warning computation system, helping you to immediately spot suspicious/uncommon metadata and image properties.

Take a deep dive into all image metadata and encoding properties. This category includes filters for simple and assisted bitstream examination, Exif and other metadata extraction, JPEG Quantization Table analysis, and comparison with Amped Authenticate's internal database (featuring more than 14k tables from thousands of camera models). You can also check whether the image was downloaded from social media platforms such as Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, Whatsapp, Twitter, and others.

Reconstructing the processing history of the image is essential for a thorough forensic analysis. Global Analysis filters detect traces of multiple JPEG compression, reveal the previous compression quality, expose artifacts introduced by resizing/rotation/digital zoom, unveil traces of histogram and color processing, and uncover periodic noise typical of images recaptured from LCDs. 

Every camera leaves a distinctive noise in the produced images. Amped Authenticate lets you estimate this noise using a few images from that camera, thus creating a Camera Reference Pattern (CRP) file. You can then use the stored CRP to understand whether an evidence image was captured using that specific camera exemplar, with high accuracy. All of this still works even when the image has been mildly compressed, rotated by multiples of 90 degrees, downscaled, or cropped. 

Being able to localize manipulated regions is of the utmost importance. Amped Authenticate provides you with many filters for this task, based on complementary analysis domains. Traces introduced by JPEG compression, artifacts left by interpolation algorithms, local noise consistency analysis, and suspicious similarity of cloned regions, are all used to provide you with effective, precise, and fine-grained forgery localization maps. 

One of the hardest parts of forging an image is to keep lights, shadows, and perspective consistent. Geometrical Analysis filters help the analyst check the technical consistency of such physical elements. Since they don't depend on compression or acquisition traces, these filters are very robust to post-processing and are suitable for low-quality images such as those from social media platforms. Geometrical Analysis filters can often be applied to scanned images and single video frames.
