about

Who is the Adaptive Sampling Group (ASG)?

If you change the visual record, you rewrite history.

We are master forgers - VFX engineers and computational neuroscientists - leveraging classical optics, computer graphics and digital forensics, in concert with the latest forgery and manipulation techniques.

The rapid advancement of image editing technology has resulted in forgeries becoming increasingly difficult to detect. To address this issue, we offer commercial tools and services (both human in the loop and AI/ML) to identify and validate visual content, distinguishing between authentic and doctored images.

We are currently focused on academia, journalism and legal applications, but open to discussion with any industry which requires assistance.

What services are offered?
+ Metadata & Header
+ Camera Profiling
+ JPEG Signature
+ Geolocation
+ Signal Processing
+ Feature Extraction
+ Super Resolution
+ Damage Restoration
+ Timestamp Verification
+ Scene Reconstruction
+ Photogrammetry
+ AI/ML [DeepFake, Diffusion and GANs]
+ Destructive Fingerprint
+ Encryption / Watermarking

Operating both an hourly rate and a flat-fee pricing model, we provide cost transparency and bespoke tools tailored to your specific requirements.
