Forensic Focus asks Amped Software, can you get that license plate?

This just in from Forensic Focus: "We find ourselves analyzing new surveillance videos almost every day, and in most cases we can either solve the problem very quickly or understand (even quicker) that there is no information to recover in the video. In special cases though, where something very specific and strange happened, or the problem is very complex, it can take a lot of time.

As always… Pareto principle: you solve 80% of the cases in 20% of the time, and, well, 20% of the cases takes 80% of the time. In our own work, the right numbers are probably 95% to 5%, but the idea still holds.

With our experience in working on several thousand cases, we can estimate whether an image or video contains some information and is worth processing, or not, very quickly. In this article, we will describe some of the tests that can be done to quickly tell if you can get that license plate!"

Hello Mr. Hoerricks
I´v been working the last 6 months in the development of a forensic tool for image and video. I´m have been applying a lot of ideas, working methods and propositions of this field. One key feature is an open architecture, allowing others developers to create their own filters/operations for use with the application. I´ll be glad as soon I´ve got a fully and stable working version, send it to you and hope your considerations. Mike
