Digital images are often used to prove facts because of their presumed objectivity. However, manipulating images has never been so easy. In this webinar, we'll introduce the basic ideas behind image authentication and see how Amped Authenticate allows unveiling the processing history of an image: which was the originating device model and exemplar? What metadata is present in the image, and is it consistent? Does the image come from a social network? Was it re-compressed, color-processed, scaled? Did it undergo some local tampering operation, such as object removal, addition, or cloning? We'll also show how Amped Authenticate allows reporting all the findings in a compelling and forensically sound report, and we'll describe the various automated and batch processing options available in the software. Finally, we'll present the newest video authentication features included in the software. If you want to learn about effective image authentication, this webinar is for you!

Amped FIVE: the Complete Forensic Video Workflow for ISO17025 Accreditation
Presenter: Emiliano Polito
Many forensic video units in the UK are now either accredited or in the process of being accredited for ISO17025. Many of these units face the dilemma of validating their tools, cross-validating one tool against another and choosing the right auditing and reporting methods. Amped FIVE is the complete solution that helps to overcome the abovementioned challenges with a scientifically sound workflow that takes care of all accreditation requirements. This presentation will use case examples and will prove how Amped FIVE is the go-to tool that allows us to: • acquire and verify the integrity of video evidence • import proprietary CCTV into our workflow preserving the raw properties of the media • restore/clarify material using a non-destructive and repeatable filter workflow • annotate and compile clips together for viewing in court and • produce clear analytical/technical reports with ease and confidence
Video Evidence: Don’t Take it for Granted
Presenter: Martino Jerian
It’s widely recognized that images and videos are the most effective source of evidence, but unfortunately, they are not always treated with the same rigor and scientific approach that is applied to other forensic fields. In this presentation, we will explain why video evidence is so powerful and why it’s not always managed in the way it deserves. We will highlight the most pressing issues concerning its acquisition, processing, and analysis, that policymakers and the public should be aware of. Finally, we will present some examples and propose an approach to improve security and justice through a better scientific workflow applied to video evidence.

FIVE has also become a standard tool for getting the best evidence from all your video sources: from analysis to enhancement. But once you have the video or image, and it is time to send it out of your office, what can you do to make sure personal information isn't accidentally released as well? In this webinar, we will discuss how Amped FIVE can be used for everything: converting proprietary videos, enhancing a license plate or face, audio and video redaction. Join Blake Sawyer from Amped Software and learn why one tool is really all you need when it comes to video and image forensics.
