Hunted Internet pedophile is in Thailand !
Interpol Identifies Suspected Pedophile
1 hour ago PARIS (AP) - A suspected pedophile sought in a worldwide Interpol manhunt has been identified and is believed to be in Thailand, the international police organization said Monday. The man was allegedly shown sexually abusing 12 young Vietnamese and Cambodian boys, apparently ranging in age from 6 to early teens, in about 200 photographs posted on the Internet. The man's face was disguised in the photos as a digitalized whirl. Using techniques that neither they nor Interpol would discuss, German police recreated an image of the man's face and released four reconstructed photos of him last week. Interpol said more than 350 people then supplied tips to authorities worldwide, leading them to identify the man as an English teacher who worked at a school in South Korea. Interpol said it now knows the suspect's name, nationality, date of birth and passport number, but it did not release that information in its statement. It said the man flew from Seoul, South Korea, to Bangkok, Thailand, last Thursday, with security cameras documenting his arrival at Thai immigration. Interpol again appealed for public help to track him down now. "Thailand is at the center of an international manhunt, and authorities in the country, in co-operation with Interpol and police around the world, are hunting him down," Interpol's secretary general, Ronald K. Noble, said in a statement. |

You will find that pressure is put on software manufacturers to provide backdoors and extra options in programs. The way they did it was to put a photo in to an art package and create the swirl effect. Next the file was replaced with one on the internet and "undone". All they had to do was make sure the swirl centre was in the same point on the photo. Simple as that. I bet he is running already. The only way he could have stopped that happening was to use a felt pen and black out his face, then take a new photo. Anything digitised can be undone quite easily. As technology advances more people are caught. |

To be safe, they'd have to cut the face out of a paper photo and then reintroduce it to the web. |

Just use the photoshop smudge(?) tool with the mouse, and so much information is lost they'll never get it back. Even better, just use a black square. This guy was clearly an idiot. A sick idiot. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

No it cannot. *Most* digital effects cannot be reversed given only the resulting image. The "undo" button in a graphic editing program will only work for the image you are currently editing, because the software saves backups (in one form or another) of the image prior to making changes. The way you describe the image was reconstructed would not work. Distorting effects such as swirls, ripples, fish-eye and even some types of blurring can be effectively undone given only the image by reversing the algorithm that created it, because those effects consist mainly of repositioning pixels rather than replacing pixels (though some pixel loss will usually occur). If you digitally black out or pixellate part of a photograph it is not possible to recover the original information because the algorithms for such effects are strictly one-way (e.g. if you change all the pixels in an area with pixels of the same colour there is no way to know what the original pixels were - the original pixels have been replaced, not moved or altered). -- Cynic |

As technology advances more people are caught. It was on the news last week because they wanted to know who he was. It was back in the news because they know who he is and is in Thailand flyig in from Korea I cant believe the process will be as simple as reversing or un-doing the swirl as pixels will have been lost and replaced in the swirl process. Quite a lot of interpolation will have also been required All he needed to use, to avoid detection, was another fillt,r one that destroyed more pixels rather than re-arranging many of them. Its not easy to undo digitised processes once the data has gone It would still be in a *.psd file but not in a *.jpg for example I am sure no *.psd was posted |
