General Discussion - Share your search and image analysis methods

Been a while since a release of new cases, expecting something from FBI fairly soon and a change to how they share information.

In the meantime, it could be useful if readers of the sub shared how they go about trying to identify items in the pictures.

What search sites and techniques you use, what image manipulation programs you might use to clear up an image, or just general techniques about the approach you take to figuring things out.

This is an open discussion thread, not meant to address any case in particular, but simply tools and approaches used to figure things out.

Thanks for participating.

General Discussion Thread

This will serve as a general discussion thread for questions/comments not related to any particular case. This is planned to be a permanent announcement post.

**Please do not comment in this post with details on any particular case. **

Previous post here


Video on what Trace an Object projects do: https://youtu.be/YVIHBDFLPUw


Comment in the thread concerning the item/case in question.

This thread will remain open for general comments and questions.


If you are aware of other programs that are involved in a similar effort to identify ITEMS and PLACES (not people) associated with crimes against children, post info about those programs in this thread. Please do not post items/places/cases from such, if the program fits the sub we can create dedicated threads for each case.


NOTE: We don't cover threads looking for identification of people (by FBI ECAP or anyone else), only objects and places.


If you happen to see a new item on one of the sites we track and it hasn't shown up here, modmail us. If there is a site we should be tracking and are not, modmail us.


If you have comments or questions on:

  • this sub, improvements to make it more effective and the like

  • thoughts/ideas/questions on search techniques and image manipulation

  • crossposting to other subs - yes, it is encouraged, the more eyes on these objects the better

  • general questions about the various programs we link to

  • anything on the topic of finding these objects but not tied to a specific case

...feel free to post it here. Discussion amongst users is encouraged.

​

Thanks.
