Forensic video analysis is the scientific examination, comparison and/or evaluation of video in legal matters. This definition is attributed to American Academy of Forensic Science. It is also the preferred definition by LEVA. LEVA is the most recognized trainer for military and law enforcement agencies seeking to become certified in video forensics.[1] [2]
Forensic video analysis usage
Forensic video analysis is widely used to provide consistent evidence based on recordings obtained at crime scenes. For example, a traffic accident with fatalities may have been recorded by a surveillance camera or an opportunistic camera[3]. Forensic video analysis has also been used in a variety of high profile cases, international disagreements, and conflict zones. Video forensics is necessary to show that images and videos used in court and media are verifiably true. Video forensics is especially important when media and governments use video coming from areas of state failure. Much of the video realized from inside Yemen and Syria have caused great political and public concern. Teams at the United Nation as well as within the governments around the world have utilized software and technical knowledge to ensure the information is accurate.[citation needed]
