I must say this is kind of scary. I took a picture I have had on my pc for years. Came across it on the internet and thought it was cute but had no context. Using the google search and after reading a couple of posts that were linked in the search found the exact location of the image in less than 10 minutes on google maps. Wild.

Well done - and yes, it's definitely scary what you can do with a little bit of 'good googling'.

Google had taken down the option of image search replacing it with Google Lens, way inferior tool. Its results are way worse, it has no option to filter by resolution or sort by date.

Thanks Ben, I used your profile pic as a test and boy it was hard to find out where it was taken but I did it. Using Google and Yandex but capturing a result of the bigger part of the building from another photo I was able to save it as a JPEG and put it back into the search engine. Sounds easy but took an hour so you could give it to someone who is new to see if they have got what it takes. To prove I found it without giving it away. There are two by the same name.

Do these images have original residual meta data or have they changed hands so much that this would be considered unreliable (such as a screenshot, would reset the meta data)? Also are Google and Yandex using cross image comparison and recognition?

What does the part of this video have to do with geolocating
@Bendobrown Жыл бұрын
Well wouldn’t it be great if even before you start geolocating, you could do a simple image reverse search and see if someone else already did it. Also, an image elsewhere on the internet might have a location in the context…
@JonahRakittАй бұрын
Hey! Late to the party IK but how would you suggest we practice these skills?
@BendobrownАй бұрын
You can watch my ‘let’s geolocate tutorials’ and my other osint at home videos to practice these steps. I also regularly post these things on Twitter/X at Bendobrown, and I always cite the source so you can try to follow along with the geolocations/verifications

Looking at things in the image such as shadows, whether it's cropped, whether there are signs of photoshopping such as cut and paste techniques might help. It's really a case by case basis.

@Bendobrown Жыл бұрын
You can try entering text in the image reverse search as well for things such as objects you use in your images, or other text describing it - it's helpful to narrow down the results. The biggest thing is to diversify your image reverse search, so try yandex, tineye and others as well.

@jfmezei3 жыл бұрын
You forgot the possibility that Veronica was actually part of quintuplets so it is normal that you have 5 different people who look exactly the same :-) When investigating images, one also need to look at photoshop artifacts. (adding fire to the village for instance). Having multiple different images of the event helps corroborate its authenticity (and gives more details on its location). Recent image of floods in Germany had an expensive BMW with derogatory sticker in back window against Greta Thunberg. Turns out that this was added by comeone who made that version go viral, while the original source was seen only in one newspaper and didn't have that derogatory sticker (and the photoshop was excellent so hard to say it was a fake).
@tuurblaffe7 ай бұрын
what about the metadata of the picture? all modern camera's include gps coordinates in those, and if it is not removed it will stay in the metadata of the picture even if the picture is modified afterwards. and yes facebook might delete that data before exposing the picture to the rest of the world; that doesn't take away that there is no copy of the original image with the metadata still attached to it. you can always try to find the person that took the picture first place if it comes it depends on what you need to investigate in the first place if the picture is taken by a reporter or journalist you always should be able to ask them more information...
