1. A system for verifying image alterations, comprising:
at least one front-end image acquisition device for acquiring one or more images of each of a plurality of vehicles, the acquired images each comprising a foreground displaying a selected vehicle and a background displaying one or more objects other than the selected vehicle;
at least one processor coupled to the at least one front-end image acquisition device and configured for use in a distributed computing environment; and
at least one computer-readable storage device coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one computer-readable storage device storing processor-executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the distributed computing environment to:
receive the acquired images of each of the plurality of vehicles via the at least one front-end image acquisition device,
generate an altered image from the at least one of the acquired images to be altered by altering one or more of the objects from the background thereof such that the one or more objects are not visible in the altered image,
add the altered image to a website, and
generate a log file in response to said altering and said adding, the log file recording each occurrence of generating the altered image and adding the altered image to the website for each of the plurality of vehicles.
