About the topic:

Multimedia contents are deeply intertwined with our lives, and, as a consequence, they've become an invaluable asset also for investigative and evidentiary use. 
However, there are still numerous open challenges for law enforcement agencies when it comes to acquire, authenticate, enhance, and analyze images and videos for forensic use. 
This webinar presents some of these challenges faced on a daily basis by law enforcement operators and reveals some trends in their demand for new technologies. 
It will also present some of the typical pitfalls to which less-trained officers are exposed when dealing with images and videos for their investigations.
