Description

IML-Expert is a professional toolset for forensic image and video enhancement.

IML-Expert is designed for the purposes of forensic video examination – improving image or video quality to establish required details or facts taken place at the crime scene.

IML-Expert is developed together with forensic experts and practitioners during real case studies and uses both traditional and innovative approaches to image and video enhancement:

  • crop / re-size / reflect / rotate;
  • color / brightness / contrast;
  • noise suppression;
  • sharpness increase;
  • resolution increase;
  • motion camera stabilization;
  • multi-processing.

Color correction

Set of filters for color correction, adjustment and tuning:

  • Grayscale
  • Negative
  • Channel extraction
  • Threshold
  • RGB correction

Size/proportions

Size and proportions adjustment to operate with selected area of the video frame:

  • Size
  • Aspect ratio
  • Arbitrary size
  • Reflection
  • Crop
  • Rotation

Neural networks predicting object borders inside pixel for resolution increase:

  • Super-resolution by sub-pixel network
  • Super-resolution by accelerated sub-pixel network
  • Super-resolution by Laplas pyramid network

Brightness/contrast

Dynamic histogram processing for image quality improvement:

  • Brightness/contrast
  • Histogram alignment
  • CLAHE
  • Retinex

Sharpness

Sharpness increase for defocused and blurred images:

  • Laplas filter sharpness
  • Sharpness increase by mask
  • Eliminating defocusing
  • Elimination of motion blur
  • Canny operator

Noise suppression

De-blocking, smoothing and filteing:

  • Smoothing by frame
  • Median smoothing
  • Gauss smoothing
  • Bi-directional filter
  • Guided filter
  • De-blocking
  • Wavelet filtering
  • De-interlacing
  • Fourier filtering

Stabilization

  • Local Stabilization
  • Global Stabilization
  • Perspective Stabilization

Multiprocessing

  • Avraging
  • Merging images
  • Image difference

Functionality

  • Forward and reverse playback, playback of video streams simultaneously with audio streams;
  • Zoomed video playback with and without interpolation;
  • Playback after applying image processing, de-interlacing;
  • Display brightness histograms for different color channels.
  • Export of separate frames or a sequence of frames without quality loss;
  • Processed video export;
  • Case project management;
  • Time marks exported with video frames and user commentaries;
  • Video processed by a filter chain;
  • Each filter can be switched on/off and moved through the chain;
  • Each filter has its own settings and image processing control dialog;
  • Pre- and post-processed images difference display;
  • Processing scheme saved to project;
  • Automatic report generated upon filter chain with settings and processing results on each step;
  • Report export to PDF document or clipboard.

Supported formats

  • Display and frame positioning for all general video file formats: MPEG-4/QTFF (*.mp4, *.mpv, *.mov, *.3gp, *.3g2), ASF (*.wmv, *.asf), RIFF AVI (*.avi), Matroska (*.mkv), FLV (*.flv, *.swf), h264 (*.h264, *.264, *.psf, *.dav, *.avc), MPEG_PS ( *.mpeg, *.mpg, *.mod,*.vob), MPEG_TS (*.mts, *.m2ts), images (*.jpeg, *.bmp, *.png).
  • Forward and backward frame sequence navigation
  • Audio stream synchronized playback with playback speed adjustment
  • Save processed images in *.bmp and processed videos in *.avi format.

Advantages

  • Unique technologies for forensic analysis of video evidence recordings;
  • Video stream processing controlled on each step;
  • Processing description for each filter;
  • Wavelet filtering;
  • Neural network super-resolution: resolution increase;
  • Motion de-blur using only one or several frames
  • Video stabilization using different approaches
  • Automatic report generation with filter description, filter parameters and filter processing results.
