Photo Forensics

Dr. Hany Farid will describe techniques developed to quantify and detect changes in properties of images. From tabloid magazines to mainstream media outlets, political campaigns, courtrooms, and the photo hoaxes that land in our email, how can we tell which images are real and which are doctored? He will speak of methods designed to restore public trust in photography. Co-sponsored by McPherson Eye Research Institute and the departments of Computer Sciences and Life Sciences Communication.
