Metadata Analysis

ML Detection

Our machine learning detection uses state-of-the-art transformer models trained on millions of images to distinguish between authentic photographs and AI-generated content.

PRNU Analysis

Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU) detects unique camera sensor fingerprints from manufacturing imperfections. AI images cannot replicate these authentic sensor signatures.

Frequency Analysis

Frequency domain analysis examines the distribution of high and low frequency components in an image. AI-generated images typically lack the natural high-frequency noise present in real photographs.

Gradient Analysis

Analyzes edge patterns and texture characteristics using Sobel, Canny, and Laplacian operators. AI images often have unnaturally smooth or uniform gradients.

Noise Pattern

Real photographs contain unique noise patterns from camera sensors that vary across the image. AI-generated images have unnaturally uniform noise distribution.

GAN Fingerprint

Detects GAN-specific artifacts like checkerboard patterns, color banding, and spectral anomalies unique to generative adversarial networks.

Texture Analysis

Local Binary Pattern analysis for texture anomalies common in AI-generated images. Measures uniformity, entropy, and homogeneity.

Anatomy Detection

AI image generators often create anatomical errors that humans immediately recognize as wrong. We use computer vision to detect these telltale mistakes.

C2PA Verification

C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) is an industry standard for tracking the origin and history of digital content through cryptographic signatures.

Semantic Inconsistency Detection

Detects logical inconsistencies like incorrect shadows, impossible perspectives, distorted reflections, and violations of physical laws that AI often produces.

Human Biometric Analysis

Uses MediaPipe to analyze human anatomy for incorrect finger counts, asymmetric eyes, unnatural skin texture, and other anatomical anomalies common in AI-generated faces.

Lighting Physics Validation

Validates light source consistency, shadow direction physics, specular highlight accuracy, and color temperature uniformity across the image.

Compression Artifact Analysis

Analyzes JPEG compression artifacts to estimate quality levels and detect re-compression patterns that indicate image manipulation or AI generation.

Edge Sharpness Analysis

Analyzes sharpness distribution across the image and validates depth-of-field consistency. AI often produces unnaturally uniform sharpness.

Statistical Pattern Analysis

Analyzes statistical properties including Shannon entropy, histogram patterns, and Benford's Law compliance to detect synthetic image characteristics.

Chromatic Aberration Analysis

Detects the absence of chromatic aberration (color fringing) that real camera lenses produce. AI images lack these optical artifacts.

Micro-Texture Analysis

Analyzes microscopic texture patterns for repetition, uniformity, and unnatural randomness that AI generators often exhibit.

Color Palette Analysis

Analyzes color distribution including saturation levels, color diversity, and white balance consistency. AI images often have oversaturated colors.
