- • Human-Readable Reports — Detailed analysis reports with confidence scores and reasoning explanations
- • 30+ Output Languages — Results available in English, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and 25+ more
Homepage & UI Changes
- • V2 Default — Homepage upload now uses AI Image Detector V2 (LLM) by default
- • Violet Theme — New violet accent design for V2 pages, distinguishing from V1 green theme
- • 3-Tool Showcase — Feature section displays V2 LLM, Deepfake Detector, and V1 Classic
- • V1 Classic Route — Original 17-method detector accessible at /ai-image-detector-v1
Forensic Analysis Tool Pages
5 new dedicated online tool pages for individual forensic detection methods. Each tool provides a focused landing page with upload capability, SEO optimization, and detailed method explanations.
New Tool Pages
- • Micro Texture Analyzer - Detect AI texture repetition, uniformity, and synthetic randomness patterns
- • Semantic Inconsistency Detector - Find physics violations, shadow errors, and perspective mistakes
- • PRNU Noise Analyzer - Verify camera sensor fingerprint and noise patterns
- • Compression Artifact Analyzer - Analyze JPEG quality, blocking artifacts, and recompression

C2PA AI Detection Override & Performance
Smart C2PA content credential override — when an image is certified as AI-generated via C2PA (e.g., by Google, Adobe, OpenAI), the detection score is automatically overridden to 100% with high confidence. Plus performance improvements for faster cold starts.
C2PA Override Logic
- • 100% Override - When C2PA digitalSourceType confirms
trainedAlgorithmicMediaorcompositeWithTrainedAlgorithmicMedia, AI score overridden to 100% - • Deep Manifest Search - Searches entire C2PA JSON including ingredient manifests for AI source types
- • Client-Side Fallback - Frontend also scans raw manifest data for AI types even if backend doesn't extract them
- • Visual Override - Verdict badge, confidence, reasoning, and probability ring all update to show C2PA-verified AI content
- • Human-Readable Annotations - Digital source types shown with plain-language explanations
Performance Improvements
- • Offline Model Loading - AI detection models loaded from local cache without HuggingFace API calls after first download
- • Faster Worker Startup - Eliminated redundant HTTP requests to HuggingFace on every Celery worker restart
- • C2PA CLI Tool - Switched from unstable c2pa-python FFI to reliable c2patool CLI for manifest parsing
Bug Fixes
- • Fixed texture analyzer overflow/divide-by-zero warnings
- • Fixed digitalSourceType extraction missing ingredient manifests
- • Fixed C2PA checker page not showing source type annotations
