From the welcome screen:
Who
We are a joint team of engineers and investigators from CERTH-ITI and Deutsche Welle, aiming to build a comprehensive tool for image verification on the Web.
Features
The Media Verification Assistant features a multitude of image tampering detection algorithms plus metadata analysis, GPS Geolocation, EXIF Thumbnail extraction and integration with Google reverse image search.
Alpha
It is constantly being developed, expanded and upgraded -our ambition is to include most state-of-the-art verification technologies currently available on the Web, plus unique implementations of numerous experimental algorithms from the research literature. As the platform is currently in its Alpha stage, errors may occur and some algorithms may not operate as expected.
Feedback
For comments, suggestions and error reports, please contact verifymedia@iti.gr.
Sharing
The source code of the Java back-end is freely distributed at GitHub.
Even in alpha, this is a great project!
Even though images can be easily altered, Photoshop and Gimp, they continue to be admissible in court, so long as a witness testifies the image
is a fair and accurate representation of the subject matter.
This project has spawned a related project: Tweet Verification Assistant, which leverages the image algorithms to verify tweets with an image or video.
