VIDEOFORENSICS.

Video forensics from container structure to individual frames. We measure temporal consistency, compression history and noise behaviour, and report exactly which frames and time ranges raise concern and why.

Target vs Reality

Current

Eyeballing the Footage

Teams watch a clip, trust their instincts and argue about artefacts. Findings vary by reviewer and are hard to explain when challenged.

Target

Measured Frame by Frame

Sensors measure each frame and each segment. The report shows the measurement, the threshold and the time range, so a second examiner can check the same result.

[ 02 / Method ]

Built for scrutiny

  1. 01Preserve

    The original file is hashed and sealed before any frame is decoded.

  2. 02Extract

    Frames, motion and encoding structure are extracted from a working copy.

  3. 03Measure

    Independent sensors score temporal, noise and compression behaviour.

  4. 04Explain

    Findings are placed on a timeline with the evidence beside each one.

Video Analysis Chain

Control planeAnalysis plane

  1. 01Container Parse

    STREAMS · METADATA

    Reads container structure, codec parameters and timestamps without decoding more than needed.

  2. 02Frame Extraction

    KEYFRAMES · GOP

    Extracts frames and group-of-pictures structure so compression history can be examined.

  3. 03Temporal Sensors

    MOTION · NOISE

    Measures motion, noise and lighting consistency across frames and across face regions.

  4. 04Compression Trace

    DOUBLE ENCODING

    Looks for signs that segments were encoded differently from their neighbours.

  5. 05Frame-Level Report

    TIMELINE · EVIDENCE

    Marks the frames and time ranges where findings occur, with the measurements behind them.

  6. Control plane / CUSTODY LOG

    Case Ledger

    Records the original hash and every extraction step.

Core sensors

01 / TEMPORAL01 / 04

TEMPORALCONSISTENCY

Real footage changes smoothly from frame to frame. Manipulated regions often do not.

MOTION · LIGHTING · FACE REGION

Check what should stay stable.

MEASURES
Frame-to-frame motion, brightness and edge behaviour, including around faces.
REPORTS
Time ranges where behaviour departs from the surrounding footage.
LIMITS
Heavy compression and fast camera motion can mimic these signs, so the report marks confidence.
02 / ENCODING02 / 04

COMPRESSIONHISTORY

Every encoder leaves a pattern. Edited segments can carry a different one.

GOP STRUCTURE · DOUBLE ENCODING

Read how the file was made.

MEASURES
Group-of-pictures layout, quantisation behaviour and re-encoding traces.
REPORTS
Segments encoded differently from neighbours, and the likely number of encoding passes.
LIMITS
Platform re-uploads rewrite compression, so results are interpreted against the file's provenance.
03 / SENSOR03 / 04

SENSORNOISE

Camera sensors leave a faint noise pattern. Synthetic or pasted regions rarely match it.

NOISE RESIDUAL · CONSISTENCY

Compare the noise, not the picture.

MEASURES
Noise residual statistics across regions and across frames.
REPORTS
Heat-mapped regions whose noise differs from the rest of the frame.
LIMITS
Strong denoising or scaling removes the signal, and the sensor says so instead of guessing.
04 / PROVENANCE04 / 04

CONTAINERMETADATA

Timestamps, device tags and software fields tell a story that the pixels may not.

STREAMS · TIMESTAMPS · TAGS

Trust nothing, record everything.

MEASURES
Container fields, stream layout and timing against expected device behaviour.
REPORTS
Mismatches and missing fields, each with the raw value shown.
LIMITS
Metadata is easy to edit, so it supports other evidence and never stands alone.

Where it applies

INVESTIGATION

Disputed interview or CCTV clip

A sensor sweep that tells an examiner where to look first and what to document.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Viral footage during an incident

Rapid triage of circulating video, with a clear note on confidence and limits.

FINANCIAL

Video-call identity checks

Recorded verification calls checked for face-swap and replay artefacts.

From evidence to report

Analysis runs on your hardware. Reports are exported as signed PDF and machine-readable JSON, with the parameters needed to reproduce each result.

[ 06 / Questions ]

Common questions

What does SpearTrace do for video forensics?

Video forensics from container structure to individual frames. We measure temporal consistency, compression history and noise behaviour, and report exactly which frames and time ranges raise concern and why.

What changes compared with the current approach?

Teams watch a clip, trust their instincts and argue about artefacts. Findings vary by reviewer and are hard to explain when challenged. Sensors measure each frame and each segment. The report shows the measurement, the threshold and the time range, so a second examiner can check the same result.

Can it run on-premise or air-gapped?

Yes. Analysis runs on your own hardware, and the platform can be installed with no connectivity. Reports are exported as signed PDF and machine-readable JSON.
