Software to detect fake photos

When the Associated Press thinks that a photo may have been manipulated, they sometimes call Hany Farid, a Dartmouth College computer scientist. As previously reported on BB, Farid has spent several years developing a suite of software that helps automate the detection of manipulation in digital photos. For example, it looks for pixel repetitions, analyzes shadows, and examines the pupils of people in photos to determine if they were composited into the image. From Science News:

 Articles 20070324 F8259 2942 "The eyes are a partial mirror into the world in which you're photographed," Farid says. If there are two white dots in each eye, there had to have been two separate light sources. So, if a photo shows two dots in one person's eyes and only one dot in another person's eyes, it must have been spliced together from two different originals.

Also, the color of the light determines the dots' precise shade of white. A composite image from different photographs may have shades that vary from person to person...

"This is an arms race," Farid says. "I can already tell you how it's going to end: We're going to lose..."

WASHINGTON, April 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With only a few days before Easter Sunday, Joan Claybrook, president of Public Citizen, urges family cooks to assess their freestanding stoves for a potential holiday hazard and report any injuries or deaths caused by ranges tipping over to a toll-free number.

"For over two decades, we have not stopped the preventable death and injury due to killer stoves," says Joan Claybrook. "There have been over 100 reported cases of death and injury from scalding and burns from hot foods and liquids spilling from stove top, and from the weight crushing anyone in the path of the tipping ranges. Given the fact that 15 to 20 million of these incorrectly installed appliances are currently in U.S. homes, we believe the number of people maimed or killed by ranges tipping over is much greater."
