Advanced Analysis & GEOINT

Prove where and when an image was made, reconcile conflicting timelines, map networks and state judgements with calibrated confidence.

  • 6 modules
  • 18 lessons & labs
  • 5 hours of study
  • 80% to pass
  • Certificate Advanced OSINT Analyst

Skilled is where verification becomes analysis. You will geolocate imagery and video to a camera position you can defend, chronolocate scenes from shadows, weather records and everyday rhythms, and read satellite imagery for change over time. You will then rebuild timelines from reports that disagree, map the relationships between people, companies and infrastructure, and test your conclusions with structured analytic techniques.

The course assumes you have completed Beginner and Intermediate, or have equivalent experience. Every module ends in a hands-on lab, and the practical assessment is an analytical dossier: a case in which geolocation, chronolocation, a disputed timeline, an entity link and competing hypotheses all have to be weighed before you write a calibrated judgement.

You will be able to

  • Geolocate photographs and video to a documented camera position, using a clue hierarchy and at least three independent matched features.
  • Chronolocate imagery from shadow direction and length, solar geometry, weather observations and time cues, and state the result as a window.
  • Choose suitable satellite imagery for a question, interpret what it can and cannot show, and bound when a change occurred.
  • Reconstruct a timeline from conflicting reports by separating occurrence, capture and publication times and anchoring on verified events.
  • Build an evidence-backed network map of entities and links, grading every link and avoiding guilt by association.
  • Apply Analysis of Competing Hypotheses and a key assumptions check, and express judgements with standard estimative language and confidence levels.

Syllabus

MODULE 1

Geolocation from Imagery & Video

Move from scattered clues to a defensible camera position, using a clue hierarchy, systematic search and proof by multiple matched features.

  1. LESSON 1.1A systematic geolocation workflowInventory every clue, rank it by how much it narrows the search, and work from region to street without skipping steps.11 min
  2. LESSON 1.2Matching and proving a locationTurn a short list of candidates into a proven camera position using matched features, lines of sight and disconfirmation.11 min
  3. LAB 1.3Lab: The wall collapse that was not in ThaneGeolocate a viral monsoon clip from its signage, vehicles and infrastructure, and test the caption against the result.14 min
MODULE 2

Chronolocation: Shadows, Sun, Weather & Time Cues

Establish when an image was made from solar geometry, weather observations and everyday time cues, and understand what metadata can and cannot prove.

  1. LESSON 2.1Reading the sun: shadow geometryUse shadow direction and length, solar noon and the seasons to turn a geolocated image into a time window.13 min
  2. LESSON 2.2Other clocks: weather, light, life and metadataCombine weather records, light, seasonal and human cues with an honest reading of metadata to test when an image was made.11 min
  3. LAB 2.3Lab: Morning or evening at the Jaipur rally?Test a claimed time for a rally photograph using a site plan, shadow measurements, a sun table, airport weather and EXIF.14 min
MODULE 3

Imagery Interpretation & Change Detection

Choose satellite imagery that can answer your question, interpret it with discipline, and bound when a change occurred.

  1. LESSON 3.1Satellite imagery: what you can and cannot seeUnderstand resolution, revisit, acquisition geometry and the main free and commercial sources, so you choose imagery that can answer the question.12 min
  2. LESSON 3.2Interpretation and change detectionRead imagery with the classic interpretation keys, link it to terrain and ground-level views, and bound changes between dated images.12 min
  3. LAB 3.3Lab: When was the warehouse finished?Use a dated series of free and high-resolution images, a changing company web page and a contractor’s post to test a completion claim.15 min
MODULE 4

Timeline Reconstruction from Conflicting Reports

Separate the different kinds of time in every report, anchor on verified events, correct device clocks and explain conflicts rather than averaging them.

  1. LESSON 4.1Times are claims: the anatomy of a timestampDistinguish occurrence, capture, publication and display times, handle time zones and ambiguous formats, and record every time as an interval with a source.11 min
  2. LESSON 4.2Reconciling conflicting reportsBuild a claim table, anchor on independent fixed points, correct device clocks and explain each conflict instead of averaging it away.12 min
  3. LAB 4.3Lab: The night of the Navrang market fireReconcile a trader’s post, a foreign news stamp, a watchman’s account, CCTV with a wrong clock and official logs into one timeline.15 min
MODULE 5

Entity Relationships & Network Mapping

Resolve entities reliably, grade every link by its evidence and time, and build network maps that inform without implying guilt by association.

  1. LESSON 5.1Entities, links and the evidence behind every lineDisambiguate people and organisations with identifiers, type and grade every link, and bound it in time.12 min
  2. LESSON 5.2Building and reading a network mapExpand a network one documented hop at a time, read structure such as hubs and brokers, and present the chart without implying more than the evidence shows.11 min
  3. LAB 5.3Lab: Three bidders, one network?Map the relationships between three bidders on a municipal tender from registry records, bid data and web infrastructure, and grade every link.15 min
MODULE 6

Structured Analytic Techniques & Confidence Language

Test conclusions with Analysis of Competing Hypotheses and a key assumptions check, and express them with calibrated likelihood and confidence.

  1. LESSON 6.1Analysis of Competing HypothesesLay out every reasonable explanation, test evidence for diagnosticity, and favour the hypothesis with the least evidence against it.14 min
  2. LESSON 6.2Key assumptions and the language of likelihoodExpose and grade the assumptions behind a judgement, then express it with standard probability terms and a separate confidence level.12 min
  3. LAB 6.3Lab: Why did the fish die in the Pawna?Run Analysis of Competing Hypotheses on a river fish kill, check the key assumptions, and write a calibrated judgement.15 min
