Proofig – AI detects whether scientific research images are fake or plagiarized | AI toolset

Proofig is an AI tool that detects whether scientific research images are fake or plagiarized. It is committed to ensuring the authenticity and integrity of scientific research images through advanced artificial intelligence and computer vision technology. This tool not only safeguards the quality standards of publications, but also significantly reduces the risk of retraction due to image plagiarism or tampering. Users only need to easily upload paper images or PDF files to obtain a detailed analysis report, providing a solid foundation for subsequent manual editing and review. Proofig’s intelligent detection system not only improves the efficiency of scientific research image review, but also ensures the credibility of scientific research results and the rigor of academic publishing.

Proofig AI’s main features

• Analyze and examine various types of research and scientific images such as microscopy imaging, histopathology sections, Western blots, gel electrophoresis, flow cytometry (FC), fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), cell culture, and in vitro or in vivo Experimental images, etc.
• Accurately identify images that have been processed in various ways, including edited or processed images such as repeating, rotating, flipping, scaling, cloning, splicing, cropping, inserting, and erasing.
• A variety of image analysis filters are available, such as color filters for adjusting hue and intensity, mathematical filters such as “Relief” for detailed analysis of Western blots, and enhancement filters with options such as “Histogram Equalization” , used to improve the clarity of detecting changes
