Abstract
Abstract
The GCI Temporal Artifact Inspection Instrument is a human-in-the-loop optical metrology device that reveals temporal visual artifacts in digital displays and video sources. The instrument uses photodiode-based refresh timing measurement, phase-locked loop synchronization, adjustable shutter phase offset, lock-quality feedback, calibration modes, automatic phase-sweep artifact discovery, preset display profiles, and session logging to support repeatable forensic inspection of motion discontinuities, flicker, frame pacing irregularities, compression instability, refresh mismatch artifacts, and other time-domain visual defects. The device functions as a synchronized optical inspection tool rather than an automatic authenticity detector.
