In a world where forgeries and deepfakes are increasingly used to foster fake news, it is essential to authenticate and source images and videos before trusting them or admitting them as evidence in a trial. This webinar will show how Amped Authenticate can assist you with every step of the image and video authentication process. We'll see how you can check the coherence of metadata and space/time information within an image, deeply inspect its file structure and content, understand whether the image has been uploaded to Facebook or other social media platforms, identify manipulated or cloned regions, detect deepfakes, and trace the image back to the specific camera that captured it. We'll also present tools to automate the analysis and identify the most suspicious images in a folder. Speaker: Marco Fontani, Forensics Director at Amped Software

The aim of any investigation is to identify evidence, evaluate its meaning and then present the facts. This new webinar will take you step-by-step through the process of handling, data analysis, and then the visual interrogation of video evidence. Conducting restoration and enhancement to assist in the interpretation of reliable facts, we will then output that information in a repeatable and demonstrative way to assist the investigation or court. Using a single software relieves you from any requirement for multi-tool validation, saving you time during the investigation process and avoiding challenges later in court. With video evidence now brightly under the spotlight, you will learn how using Amped FIVE safeguards you against unknown processing in consumer video tools with a science-based, single, forensic application.

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.

Too Many Proprietary Players: Video Conversion & Triage
Presenter: David Spreadborough
In many cases, you only need to get the video to play and do a few simple tasks. However, in the world of CCTV, nothing is simple! Understanding why there are issues is the first stage in finding the solutions.

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 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, 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. If you are an experienced video analyst this webinar is for you!
