Real-World File Integrity and Content Analysis Workshop
Presenter: Blake Sawyer
October 20
Part 1: 13:00 – 14:30
Part2: 15:00 – 17:00
Understand the key concepts of image authentication, learn the different analysis stages and identify the importance of fact-based reporting. Analyzing image integrity and authenticity is a lot more than just reading the metadata. The entire structure, which includes the pixels that form the image, must be analyzed and compared to ensure you can not only see data abnormalities, but also image artifacts that question the image’s reliability. Using Amped Authenticate, users will work on real-world images, answering real-world questions regarding integrity and authenticity.

New to Amped FIVE or curious about it? In this one-day workshop, you’ll understand the concept and interface of Amped FIVE, perform simple conversions and analyze and interpret media files and restore and enhance images using the Image Generation Model. Using the key scientific concepts of repeatability, reproducibility, and reliability, you will better understand its conversion, analysis, measurement, interpretation, restoration, enhancement, and presentation capabilities.
Understanding Multimedia Timing Information
Presenters: Blake Sawyer and Blaine Davison
October 20
Part 1: 8:00 – 10:00
Part 2: 10:30 – 12:00
Video is full of timing information: frames per second, presentation time, universal time code, real date and time.
