Forensic Video Enhancement

Key aspects of video enhancement in forensics include:

  1. Clarifying Visual Details: Enhancing the resolution and sharpness of video frames to reveal finer visual details, such as faces, objects, or text, that may be crucial for identification or analysis in criminal and civil cases.

  2. Reducing Noise and Distortions: Mitigating visual distortions, noise, or artifacts present in the video, which can result from factors like low lighting conditions, compression, or the limitations of the recording equipment.

  3. Color Correction: Adjusting color balance and contrast to correct any anomalies in the color representation, ensuring a more accurate portrayal of the scene.

  4. Frame Stabilization: Correcting shaky or unstable footage, providing a more stable and coherent view of the events, especially important in cases where the camera may have been in motion (body camera and cell phone footage stabilization).

  5. Zooming and Cropping: Applying digital zoom or cropping to focus on specific areas of interest within the video, providing a closer look at details that may be relevant to the investigation.

Video Authentication Analysis

Key components of video authenticity in forensics include:

  1. Analysis of Original Footage: Forensic experts examine the original video file to assess its authenticity and confirm that it has not been altered or tampered with.

  2. Metadata Examination: Scrutinizing metadata associated with the video file, including timestamps, camera information, and file properties, to ensure consistency and accuracy in line with the events depicted.

  3. Digital Forensic Techniques: Employing digital forensic tools and methodologies to detect any signs of manipulation, editing, or alterations within the video file.

  4. Chain of Custody Verification: Confirming the secure handling and preservation of the video evidence throughout its lifecycle, from the moment of acquisition to its presentation in court.

  5. Comparison with Source Equipment: Verifying that the characteristics of the video align with the capabilities and specifications of the source recording equipment, ensuring that the footage has not been manipulated during acquisition.

  6. Expert Analysis: Involving forensic experts with specialized knowledge in video authenticity to conduct a comprehensive and transparent examination of the video evidence.

Video Photogrammetry Experts

Video photogrammetry in forensics is a specialized analysis that involves the precise measurement and analysis of objects and scenes captured within a video or photo. Photogrammetry utilizes visual data from multiple frames to create detailed three-dimensional (3D) models of the recorded environment, allowing forensic experts to extract accurate measurements, reconstruct scenes, and gather valuable spatial information.

To apply video photogrammetry, forensic experts use specialized software that can process and analyze the video frames, identify key reference points, and reconstruct the scene in a digital environment. This process aids investigators, law enforcement, and legal professionals in gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the spatial context of events captured in video evidence, contributing to a more informed analysis and presentation of evidence in legal proceedings.

      Nancy C. Smith

      Deputy Public Defender, Stanislaus County, CA

      “I wanted to let you know how helpful the work was that your Company did on our case. The District Attorney dismissed the case this morning based on the fact that the video surveillance as enhanced by Stephen Buller showed that my client was not the person in the video. Thanks for your assistance!“

        Darryl G. Perlin

        Senior Deputy District Attorney, County of Santa Barbara

        “I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent work you did in the case of People v. Malinda Jean Jones. Your business did an excellent job with the videotape. This proved to be of invaluable assistance when the jury watched the videotape. Additionally, when you testified during the jury trial, the jury was impressed with your presentation. The work you did in this matter really made a difference. Thank you for your contribution to the success of this important case.”

          J. Tony Serra

          Lawyer, San Francisco, CA

          “The undersigned has been acquainted with and has utilized the services of Mr. Stutchman for approximately the past seven years. I unreservedly recommend Mr. Stutchman for his expertise, devotion to task and quality of work. In an attempted murder case in 1994, his graphics, aerial photographs, enhancements of video and audio tapes were state-of-the-art. He testified as an expert witness for us in these areas. Since that time he has testified on numerous occasions as an expert. In short, I heartily recommend Mr. Stutchman to anyone needing his services and will be happy to speak to anyone concerning his qualifications.”

            Bob Burcina

            Ret. Police Officer, Sr. Special Investigator, Napa, CA

            “As a senior special investigator in one of the top insurance companies in America, my unit frequently procures the services of Stutchman Forensic Audio and Video Laboratory to clarify and analyze audio and videotapes…We look to Mr. Stutchman to provide the unbiased investigation into our audio and video forensic needs…I know Mr. Stutchman to be honest, hardworking and dedicated to his craft. His reputation is impeccable.”

              James V. Jones

                  “I wanted to send you a somewhat belated thanks for the work you performed on behalf of my client. The enhanced and slowed tapes were the straw that finally broke the rather sturdy back of the prosecutor. All eleven robbery counts were dismissed on the eve of trial, and my client and the co-defendant were released after spending nine months in jail for a crime that they didn’t commit. On behalf my client and myself, I send you a heartfelt thanks.”

                    Brian Dressler

                        "Thank you for the video enhancement. It will be very helpful to my client’s case. I will make sure to let the other attorney's in the office know about the quality of the work as well as the great turnaround time. Thanks again."

                            "I have worked with Steve Buller at Stutchman on multiple homicide cases in the last ten years, always with excellent results. Steve is always clear, responsive, available, patient when I ask him to repeat an explanation, no drama, and always stay within the allotted budget. He stands out from many other experts because of his down-to-earth style of just getting the work done without delays or excuses and then helping me understand what he did and how he did it. Steve is great at enhancing video and audio recordings, and he recently deconstructed a fairly complex video compilation created by law enforcement. He was able to tell me what they got right and what they got wrong-excellent material for cross examination. I will always return to Steve for forensic help."
