Collaborate Disseminate
Hello everyone, and thank you for hitting play on this short video presentation from Amped Software.
This presentation is all about trust and how this single word underpins everything that we do at Amped Software with video and imagery evidenc… Continue reading TRUST: How This Single Word Underpins Everything We Do at Amped Software With Video and Image Evidence
This month’s roundup features an eclectic assortment of research on mobile, IoT, and vehicular devices, as well as file forensics, image forensics, and threat detection. Much of this research explores novel acquisition techniques for newer technologies… Continue reading Lab Management and Novel Methods and Tools in the Forensic Sciences: Research from October
Manoranjan Mohanty: Hello, everyone, and thanks for watching this video. This video is about our paper “Towards Deep Fake Video Detection Using PRNU-Based Method”. This work was done in collaboration with UTS and University of Auckland.
So, de… Continue reading Towards Deep Fake Video Detection Using PRNU Based Method
Manoranjan Mohanty: Hi, thanks for watching this video. This is about our short paper titled ‘Verification of Multi-Camera Smartphones, which was done in collaboration with UTS and University of Auckland.
So basically PRNU-based source camera … Continue reading PRNU Based Verification of Multi-Camera Smartphones
Introduction
“Enhanced Reflections” is a new blog series launched by Amped Software to help get a better insight into the ins and outs of Amped, the forensic industry in general and other relevant topics. Today’s article is personally &h… Continue reading Can AI Be Used for Forensics and Investigations?
Ecology is a strange discipline. At its most basic, it’s the study of how living things interact with their environment. It doesn’t so much seek to explain how life works, but rather how lives work together. A guiding principle of ecology is that life finds a way to exploit niches, subregions within the larger world with a particular mix of resources and challenges. It’s actually all quite fascinating.
But what does ecology have to do with Luka Mustafa’s talk at the 2018 Hackaday Belgrade Conference? Everything, as it turns out, and not just because Luka and his colleagues put IoT …read more

Getting a good measurement is a matter of using the right tool for the job. A tape measure and a caliper are both useful tools, but they’re hardly interchangeable for every task. Some jobs call for a hands-off, indirect way to measure small distances, which is where this image analysis measuring technique can come in handy.
Although it appears [Saulius Lukse] purpose-built this rig, which consists of a microscopic lens on a digital camera mounted to the Z-axis of a small CNC machine, we suspect that anything capable of accurately and smoothly transitioning a camera vertically could be used. The …read more

Those of you who’ve never had a real sourdough have never had real bread. Good food fights back a little when you eat it, and a proper sourdough, with its crispy crust and tangy center, certainly fits the bill. Sourdough aficionados, your humble writer included, all have recipes that we pretend are ancient family secrets while in reality we’re all just guessing. Sourdough is partly science, partly art, but mostly delicious black magic.
In an effort to demystify his sourdough process, [Justin Lam] has gone digital with this image processing sourdough starter monitor. Sourdough breads are leavened not by the …read more

Things rarely go well when humans mix with wildlife. The problems are exacerbated in the suburbs, where bears dine on bird feeders and garbage cans, raccoons take up residence in attics, and coyotes make off with the family cat. And in the suburbs, nuisance wildlife can be an intractable problem because the options for dealing with it are so limited.
Not to be dissuaded in the battle to protect his roses, [dlf.myyta] built this motion-activated sentry gun to apply some watery aversion therapy to marauding deer. Shown in action below against a bipedal co-conspirator, the sentry gun has pretty much …read more

Some people look forward to the day when robots have taken over all our jobs and given us an economy where we can while our days away on leisure activities. But if your idea of play is drone racing, you may be out of luck if this AI pilot for high-speed racing drones has anything to say about it.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab has been working for the past two years to develop the algorithms needed to let high-performance UAVs navigate typical drone racing obstacles, and from the look of the tests in the video below, they’ve made a lot …read more
