Multimedia Forensics

Lawyers and investigators turn to Phoenix Data Forensics when they require analysis of digital evidence in audio, video or photographic form. Multimedia evidence can be highly probative, but there are challenges. The source data and media can be difficult to work with. In many cases the evidence must be enhanced or clarified for effective presentation at trial. Specialized expertise and tools are required for tasks as simple as pulling a still image from a video stream or clarifying audio recordings. More involved support is required when authenticating or challenging the content of multimedia evidence. We offer solutions that many forensic shops cannot because of our specialized lab, and our expertise in digital signal processing, machine learning and computer vision.
