Novel Methods for Forensic Multimedia Data Analysis: Part I

Abstract

The increased usage of digital media in daily life has resulted in the demand for novel multimedia data analysis techniques that can help to use these data for forensic purposes. Processing of such data for police investigation and as evidence in a court of law, such that data interpretation is reliable, trustworthy, and efficient in terms of human time and other resources required, will help greatly to speed up investigation and make investigation more effective. If such data are to be used as evidence in a court of law, techniques that can confirm origin and integrity are necessary. In this chapter, we are proposing a new concept for new multimedia processing techniques for varied multimedia sources. We describe the background and motivation for our work. The overall system architecture is explained. We present the data to be used. After a review of the state of the art of related work of the multimedia data we consider in this work, we describe the method and techniques we are developing that go beyond the state of the art. The work will be continued in a Chapter Part II of this topic.

Novel Methods for Forensic Multimedia Data Analysis: Part II

“…With this chapter, we finish our work on multimedia forensic data analysis, which was started in Part I of Forensic Multimedia Data Analysis [1].…”

“…The central legislative instrument for the protection of personal data in Europe is the EU's 1995 Directive 1 . In order to come to a complete revision of the entire framework concerning data protection, more consistent with changes in the single market and with stronger needs to ensure security of European citizens, since 2009, the European Commission launched public consultations on data protection 2 and engaged in intensive dialog with stakeholders.…”

“…The chapter is continuation of Part I of novel methods for forensic multimedia data analysis [1]. The main aspects of multimedia forensic data analysis, the background and the system architecture are described over in Part I.…”
