Method for determining authenticity of hanging images and deformation analysis of authenticity of item based on authentication score transgressing authenticity threshold

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a request to authenticate an item;
• accessing two images of the item, a first image showing the item hanging without a weight load and a second image showing the item hanging with the weight load;
• analyzing, by an image analyzer, the two images to determine deformation differences of the item between the two images;
• determining an authentication score for the item by applying the deformation differences to a machine learning model trained with training data derived from authentic and counterfeit items;
• determining whether the authentication score transgresses an authenticity threshold;
• and
• based on the authentication score transgressing the authenticity threshold, causing presentation of an indication of authenticity of the item.
