(54) Title: AUTOMATION OF IMAGE VALIDATION cc N O C HOST COMPUTING DEVICES) 102 FIG. 1 (57) : An automated process to determine whether an image has been modified incudes receiving an image (e.g., via a web portal), requesting an image validation service to analyze the image to determine whether the image and/or a subject depicted in the image, has been modified from its original form and, based on the analysis of the image validation service, outputting a likelihood that the image has been modified. The image validation service may analyze the image using one or more operations to determine a likelihood that the image has been modified, and provide an indication of the likelihood that the image has been modified to the web portal. The indication of the likelihood that the image has been modified may be presented on a display via the web portal, and various actions may be suggested or taken based on the likelihood that the image has been modified.
