Finding evidence and clues using pixels:

Finding evidence and clues using pixels - images and videos in computer forensics examinations! Current image recognition technologies make it possible to effectively use the pixel content of digital images and videos in forensics examinations. Pixels can be used to automatically find known illegal images or videos . e.g. known child pornography, fake dollar bills, fake ID documents- even though the images have been hidden, resized, or modified in any way, and the videos have been cut, edited, or redacted. Pixels can also be used to find yet unknown illegal images, by automatically pointing the analyst to images that are likely to belong to suspect categories: weapons, paramilitary images, pornography or child pornography, technical plans... Systems can be trained to recognize any sort of object or images to help find evidence and clues in the always larger amounts of digital images and videos forensics analysts are facing nowadays.
