Excerpt

Where was this taken

Input: an image or video file, or a URL to one. Output: a location with a confidence radius, a time window, an authenticity assessment, and the evidence chain for each.

This workflow orchestrates. The technique detail lives in secrets-in-file-metadata, find-the-original-image, geolocate-from-pixels and is-this-photo-real — run those, don't reimplement them here.

The order matters more than anything else in this file. Metadata before analysis, because analysis destroys metadata. Provenance before geolocation, because the original's caption often is the location. Authenticity checks before you commit, because geolocating a composite gives you a confident answer to the wrong question.
