Understanding Forensic Digital Imaging

Academic Press, 2008

The science of digital imaging can be divided into two separate branches: the techniques that explain how to use and create digital images, and the technical knowledge that is necessary to design cameras, computers, and software. The expert witness should be a skilled practitioner in the techniques and have enough understanding of the technical...

Human Recognition at a Distance in Video (Advances in Pattern Recognition)

Springer, 2010

Most biometric systems employed for human recognition require physical contact with, or close proximity to, a cooperative subject. Far more challenging is the ability to reliably recognize individuals at a distance, when viewed from an arbitrary angle under real-world environmental conditions. Gait and face data are the two biometrics that...
