Computer Reverse Projection

A software tool for image comparison using reverse projection, a form of photogrammetry.

Reverse projection is a quick and very simple way to obtain information about the size of a questioned object or person. By using the same camera as the incident and recreating the scene, you can mix the live camera feed with the earlier recording of the object or person. This method will recreate and hence eliminate all camera distortions. You can now place a “target” in the live feed in the same position as the object/person and estimate the size, shape and visible features of the object/person.

COREPRO helps you to quickly recreate the scene and align the camera in exactly the same position as it was during the recording of the object/person. It contains multiple ways of mixing your reference footage with the live footage for the most accurate estimation. The only thing left to do is to record the result.

These procedures have been successfully used to include or eliminate objects such as weapons, clothing and vehicles, together with the height, size and shape of persons or even facial features – provided the source imagery was suitable.

COREPRO has a width range of input capabilities like IP, Analogue, DVI, VGA, HDMI and DV devices.

Forensic image and video authentication

Everyone has encountered it in some form or shape, manipulation or generation of images and video’s. One can think of videos where famous politicians say things they would never say in public or removing that one person from our holiday pictures which you do not know.

At first this may look harmless and funny but what if this video of a politician saying something will harm international relations? Or what if someone appears in a specific type of video which will harm their reputation?

You can no longer believe what you are seeing. You have to ask yourself what is the source of this footage and if this can be trusted. Especially in forensic applications in which the truth is sought-after.

The new generation of Mandet is a platform build to help search for traces of manipulation in both images and video. The program consist of different components:

  • Image/Single frame filters
    Different filters which can be applied on an image or frame.In collaboration with DuckDuckGoose external link , we have integrated an artificial intelligence (AI) based DeepFake detection filter.
  • Video Analysis
    These will analyze specific signals through the whole video.
  • Hexadecimal viewer with file layout for png and jpeg
    Review the actual bytes of a file using Hexadecimal and ASCII tables
    and review the format specific building blocks of a file.
  • Camera Ballistics
    Match a specific image to a specific camera using PRNU.
  • Integrated report building and export to pdf, html or docx file.

    • Because analysing an image can be a time consuming job, the software is set up in such a way that applying multiple filters, video analysers, etc at the same time is very easy. Simply browse through the results and further investigate striking features in the detail windows.

    It is also possible to compare two files for the filter results, metadata and hexadecimal viewer. This also works for videos, which can be navigated simultaneously or independent.
