OSINT At Home #6 - Find when an image was taken with satellite imagery
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- This tutorial is part 6 of the OSINT At Home series. It covers how to find when a photo or video was taken using features seen in the image and cross-referencing them with freely available satellite imagery (also referred to as chronolocation).
It should be noted that there are many different ways to identify when an image or video may have been taken. This tutorial covers the more difficult aspect of that by identifying a window of time when the image or video was taken. There are also methods such as looking at the metadata or exifdata (seen in video 2), looking at the terrain (winter, summer, dry, rainy season), as well as more advanced techniques such as using shadows in an image or video to identify the time (shadow calculation).
This tutorial is complimentary to videos 4 and 5 in this series which cover how to find the location of an image or a video (geolocation methodology) and also how to create a panorama to help with more difficult geolocation challenges.

The OSINT At Home series is useful for those looking to find digital breadcrumbs and pick up some methods of open source intelligence (OSINT), digital investigations and good old plain research. No matter who you are, or where you are in the world, you can follow these tutorials from home with publicly available information to answer questions such as who, what, where and when.

I'm in the middle of this excellent series of tutorial videos on OSINT. Very interesting, well explained. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in this area.
Although the quality of the videos is very good, I sometimes see some small imperfections. You may be doing it on purpose, but often a video isn't shot completely fullscreen or in a full window. As a result, for example, the address bar in the browser sometimes disappears, or the menu bars in programs are not completely visible. See 2:15 for an example. With the urls in the description I can get there, and with some searching I can see which buttons you mean, but I would like to point this out to you anyway.
Anyway, your videos are generally top notch and well worth watching!

Thank you and thanks for identifying that. I had no idea! I’ll make sure they’re filmed within the screen record parameters next time! 🙏
It would have been interesting to pull an IR to see how hot the burned area was. If it was just a residual plumb of smoke or an active fire. Great information, outstanding.
Hi Ben, I have completed watching all your videos and must say they the best series on osint in terms of geo locating I have watched so far so thank you for making the time and effort to make them. I was also thinking if you would be willing to make a video on how to present findings like creating graphic reports, what softwares to use to make reports and possibly where to look for some stories. I have found myself in a situation where I started gaining lots of investigative skills but don't really know how to put them to use. I find your work very fascinating and would love to be able to work on similar projects but don't really know where to start.
Hi Richard, thank you so much for the feedback. And yes of course, I will be making one in the coming sessions focussing on that, as well as including a bit more of the markup process in some future sessions. Stay tuned and thank you again for watching!
Thank you for getting back to me. Can't wait for any future videos. I can see you just added another one so will definitely watch it. Thank you again
This is really wonderful. Look forward to many more videos more frequently.At least one every fortnight
Thank you - I am definitely working on them.
You seem to be getting much clearer images than I am managing to get on Google Earth and Sentinel.... is there a secret to that?
It takes me to the Copernicus Browser. The data is way too blurred to do any kind of before and after or time-lapse. I can't identify my own house using Copernicus. I also note that some of the satellites listed in this video are not there anymore, including Landsat. It's just gone. Could we get some kind of updated info on where this data can be accessed now?
Sentinel interface is bit complex today than in this video
Thank you for making this video. I need all the information to defeat the Myanmar coup. You uploaded the video the day that the coup happened in Myanmar. #savemyanmar #rejectmilitarycoup
You are very welcome Yadanar. It's why I put these videos out - to help anyone, anywhere in the world, document what is happening.
Great work! Quality content and valuable information, thank you!
Thank you so much - I am glad you enjoyed it!
Sure appreciate your videos. Very informative.
Glad you like them!
Great videos. I hope you make more.
damn. you are so good man. Well done and thanks for sharing this!
Thank you 🙏
In the case of the Myanmar village, what would cause ruins to be colder on infrared? Would building materials and roofs be black/soot and collect even more heat? (My first thought were that the redder image showed the destroyed village still hot from the fire, so was susprised it was the opposite).
Nice video! tks!
You’re welcome 🙏
❤🎉
Interesting... for the Syrian one, Sentinel Playground now only goes back as far as March 2017.
For me near Timisoara, they haven't updated since 15 October 2012
The image is too blurry when I use sentinel when I zoom in. And G earth pro refuse giving me 2024 updated photos, only shows till 2021? What should I do?
Can you calculate height of man in image without any image context.. i mean is it possible.
If there are other features in the image you know the relevant height of then sure! Don’t forget you can also use feet, such as the average foot size of a person and measure that for scale.
If you have the time of photo in the metadata and any shadows you can work your way backwards on the shadow calculation.
having trouble in using Sentinel hub please help
What's the problem? Happy to help.
