Digital Media Forensics
Establishing the facts in criminal and civil cases.
Digital Media Forensics (DMF) is a state-of-the-art process that uses existing digital evidence and data to establish the facts in a case, eliminate issues, create transparency and communicate the case clearly to a jury.
Cameras are becoming more prolific with each passing year, and the footage and photographs they produce hold much more information beyond the picture they display. Knott Laboratory’s DMF experts can take this footage and derive crucial information to prove or disprove points of a case. This information is then presented visually in a way that is easy for anyone to understand.
For example, our Digital Media Forensics team can use video and audio evidence from:
- Body cameras
- Surveillance cameras
- Dashboard cameras
- Cell phones
- Video doorbells
- Traffic cameras
- Photographs from the scene
- Drone footage
- GPS data
And discover key points such as:
- Positions of people, vehicles and objects
- Second-by-second timeline of events
- Speed
- Pitch, yaw, roll and angles of objects
- Locations of evidence
- Points of rest
Additionally, our team can use the methods below to further illuminate findings in a case:
- Motion Capture
- 3D Scanning & Point Clouds
- Real-Time Simulation
- Interactive Visualizations
- Virtual Reality
Every detail is scientifically accurate. Our goal is to create transparency and clearly present the facts of your case.
