The objective of Forensic Video Enhancement is to clarify or
enhance the events as they occurred. This is done using non destructive
techniques to preserve the video evidence integrity, and pixel quality.
As DLA, the digital forensics experts are often asked to
enhance CCTV Surveillance video recordings for court. Often times they are asked
to provide video image enhancement as well for identification purposes.
A variety of video enhancement techniques can be applied in
different arrangements on CCTV Surveillance video evidence. The most important
ingredient to this forensic process is maintaining the highest quality of the
video evidence. This yields the highest success possible throughout the
investigation.
DLA will now be an Africa exclusive agent for Ikena Forensic Software. Not only does Ikena offer some of
the best software programs available today, but full enhancement of your videos
and images will always be possible!
Scaling/Pixel
Interpolation: Re-size, or scale an image or video to a larger
resolution to further identify suspects.
Sharpening: Enhances
the edge contrast of an image or video.
Stabilization: This
is most common today with smart phone video evidence. It reduces the amount of
movement from the user that created the video evidence.
Frame Averaging: Increase
the quality of the image by combining data from surrounding frames as well as a
better signal to noise ratio in your images or videos.
Speed Reduction: Decrease
the original playback of video evidence to view the events as they occurred in
more detail.
If you have a video that you question or need help
understanding, please give DLA a call!
