Image and Video

Analysis Service
The Forensic Analysis of Imagery and
Video can aid in the identification of
individuals, vehicles and objects and
can also help determine the sequence
of events during an incident.
However, it is imperative that this analysis is performed correctly so
that the images remain true to their original content and context.
Our experts use the most up-to date equipment and specialist
software and ensure that all evidence is examined in accordance
with established best practices. They are numbered amongst
the very few formally trained experts in the UK, with many years
experience of working on some very high profile cases.
These experts perform a range of specialist forensic tests and
procedures in an attempt to determine recorded events, for
example, the actions taken by an individual or whether an individual
might be seen to be carrying a gun, knife or other weapon.
This range of specialised tests and procedures creates more easily
definable results which may then be analysed in greater detail,
including digitisation, enlargement and enhancement. This allows
the optimisation of an image and often reveals information which is
extremely useful to an investigation.
