Camera Ballistics

The purpose of Camera Ballistics is to perform an in-depth analysis of photographs to get as much information as possible, allowing an investigator to find evidence that matches a photo to a digital camera.

Using an advanced scientific algorithm, Camera Ballistics analyzes not just the EXIF data of photos, but anomalies that can reveal the use of a specific digital camera, due to the unique properties of a camera's light sensor. In other words, this application manages to create a sensor fingerprint that can then be compared to other photos to link them to a particular camera.

This approach comes in handy to any forensic investigator who needs to analyze multiple photos and determine the camera they were shot with. Promising impressive accuracy, Camera Ballistics can play a significant role in evidence discovery.

The application's main window is graphically pleasant and easy to work with. There are two separate modules. The first is designed to create a fingerprint based on a series of photos taken with the same camera, while the second can process photos in batch to find a fingerprint match.

To get the best results and ensure a high accuracy, it is recommended you use at least 30 photos when creating or matching a fingerprint. Ideally, the photos must display clouds or walls, with no visible shapes. However, if you don't have as many photos, you can run the analysis using at least three images.

The idea behind Camera Ballistics is to provide a software solution that can accurately determine whether a photo has been taken using a specific camera or not. The two-phase analysis should not take much time; the result is a comprehensive report that comprises information about the photos under investigation, showing you which match the input fingerprint.
