The topic of deepfake and the dangers it poses for individuals, but also for companies, are currently a major topic in the media. Identity theft, blackmailing, political scandals – the potential consequences are far-reaching, expensive and dangerous. Just before the NAB Show 2019, Deutsche Welle, Athens Technology Center SA and Fraunhofer IDMT launched the joint research project "Digger".
One of the aims of the project is to extend the web-based verification platform Truly.Media, which was developed by Deutsche Welle and Athens Technology Center, with Fraunhofer IDMT’s audio forensics technologies. With this digital "detective toolkit", journalists are able to carry out joint analysis to identify fake material. The project is financed by the Google News Initiative.
***Searching for traces***
The recording and editing of audio data, such as encoding and editing, leaves subtle but characteristic traces within the material. The audio forensics software detects and analyzes these traces to determine whether a recording was edited, which processing steps were performed upon material, and from which device type the audio recordings probably stem from.
Beyond these tools, Fraunhofer IDMT also demonstrates several other technologies at the Fraunhofer booth (SU4816) in the South Hall (upper), including further content analysis and AI tools for media asset management, media production and media archives.
Visit us from April 8 to 11 at the Fraunhofer joint booth in the South Hall (upper), booth SU4816 and learn more about the newly launched project "Digger" and the technologies offered by Fraunhofer IDMT, to fully exploit the potential of your content.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
