This image manipulation analysis dashboard is being developed in the COM-PRESS research project. In this project, we develop image forgery detection methods that journalists can use to detect and debunk image manipulations. We explore novel techniques in fundamental research and bridge the gap to socially relevant use cases.
Specifically, COM-PRESS works towards the following objectives:
In this way, COM-PRESS creates new insights in disinformation, in order to increase the resilience of citizens and journalists against disinformation.
The research groups IDLab-MEDIA and mict (both from Ghent University - imec, Belgium) join forces with Apache (De Werktitel cv) as media partner. The image analysis dashboard that you are on now is made by IDLab-MEDIA. Moreover, the consortium is working with CheckFirst to build a second dashboard that scrapes social media and communicates with this image analysis dashboard. The project runs from October 2022 to June 2024, with subsidies from the Flemish government’s Department of Culture, Youth & Media (Departement Cultuur Jeugd & Media).
