As Wambach Heinrich Bauer has made Elstertal good laugh - such a large potato, he had never harvested on his farm. This had to be ready for the post-World documented. Only - which of the three is the original photo?
When DOCMA Award for digital imaging 2009, it is the responsibility of the contestant's own digital photos through montages and retouching possible convincingly to falsify.
Think of a short story, write it in a few lines on and show you the culmination of the visual "proof" of a gefakten photos. This can be an everyday throughout history, but also something earth. When Godzilla or UFOs landed in the Hamburg harbor, the assessor does not have long puzzle, because what might have been assembled.
Thickness potatoes and wrecked cars
First, you make a little history, about the size of a detailed caption should have. Because it can order the thick potato farmer from Wambach go, a sheet metal damage to your car, landed aliens or a disinterested investment banker.
The problem with the thing: The more spectacular the story is so exciting is probably the assembly? But the easier it is also the alleged photo as a forgery to unmask and identify: This item has been hineingemogelt.
Like "DOCMA" the respondents with workshops and tips to help visually convincing montages without obvious contradictions and breaks records, so little editorial counterfeiters would like to support, manipulate the images to assist in the observing an unzutreffendes worldview and to generate for himself or their principal unjustified advantages to achieve (see Doc Baumann essay on the topic Bildmanipulaton).
FOUND IN ... DOCMA 1/2009Doc Baumanns magazine for digital imaging Free BulletinMonthly & Abowww.docma.infoDOCMA Award 2009 "image forgery" Mathematical procedures that are beyond the control of lighting vision, perspective, sharpness and accurate contour can find out where something is grown together, is really not together, because just come right.
That is why when Award 2009 next to the jury, the images on their mounting qualities and convincing picture ideas assessed an additional Working Group, which with the methods of image forensics will be trying out Fake.
The assembly will be used later material made available so that they can check where their procedures came to incorrect results and therefore in practice would be unreliable.
With landed UFOs, Godzilla in the Hamburg harbor, or a 27-kilogram potato respondents make it easy referees, since they do not have far to look. The other, admittedly - if a man just off a wristwatch or abmontieren, is not so much cheap suspicious image idea. But as a complementary element can be quite exciting, and the experts a little make life difficult.
Photo editors have until summer time
Working together will be "DOCMA" in this competition with, among others, the Privacy and Security Department at the TU Dresden, the department at the Bundeskriminalamt, the evaluators Gerald Huber and Anders Uschold, blogs and online magazines "Photography" and "c't".
Other interested professionals are invited to come forward. The assemblies will be submitted to the said institutions and individuals made available - if respondents do not want, they can obviously exclude when registering. The cooperation with the BKA is limited exclusively to the bildforensischen analysis - the development of automated face recognition, for example, is explicitly not supported.
Participants can enter up to five montages returned. To make it even more exciting to do, they should also mitschicken real photos that show anything unusual? therefore remains open whether a picture on a fake or not.
The judging of the works will take place in summer 2009. There are three groups of professionals, Semiprofis and training. Like every year waiting for the winners in total premium income of around 20,000 euros and the presentation of the best works - the originals are compared - in exhibition and media (for more information on the website of the competition).
But in any case, you can now already with the preparations begin.
