Welcome to Proofig AI's advanced tutorial on detection filters and tools. This guide will explore some key tools available in Proofig to help you review your suspected image integrity issues.

Proofig offers a range of tools to help you analyze images for integrity issues. These tools are divided into three main categories: color maps, filters, and enhancement techniques.

Color maps affect the color representation of your image without altering the actual data. Let's look at some specific color maps.
​
​

Invert reverses the colors in the image, making light areas dark and dark areas light. This can help highlight certain features that are not easily visible in the original color scheme.

Greys converts the image to grayscale, removing all color information. This is useful for focusing on intensity variations without the distraction of color.

Jet applies a color map that transitions from blue to red. This can help visualize variations in data, with different colors representing different intensity levels.

HSV uses hue, saturation, and value to color the image. This can be useful for highlighting different aspects of the image based on these parameters.

These color maps are relevant for detecting duplication and reuse between images, as well as identifying manipulations such as cloning detection within images. They provide visual clarity to highlight subtle patterns, overlaps, and other inconsistencies. For more details, visit our page on duplication and reuse detection.

Filters modify the image by applying certain transformations to highlight specific features.
​

Let's focus on the 'emboss' filter.

Emboss creates a 3D effect by highlighting the edges within the image. This makes the image look embossed and helps identify fine details and edges, which can be useful for spotting alterations or manipulations.

Enhancement tools can improve image quality and highlight features.
​

Let's look at histogram equalization.

Histogram equalization adjusts the contrast of the image by redistributing the pixel intensity values to span the entire range of possible values. This makes hidden details more visible and can highlight differences that are not apparent in the original image.

Both emboss and histogram equalization are particularly relevant for detecting alterations and manipulations. To learn more, visit our page on alteration and manipulation detection.

Understanding how to use Proofig's detection filters and tools is essential for thorough image analysis. Experiment with different settings to uncover hidden details and ensure the integrity of your scientific images. For more guides, visit our knowledge center.
