Video Enhancement of Facial Images
"There is no landscape that we know as well as the human face. Twenty-five odd square inches containing the features is the most intimately scrutinized piece of territory in existence, examined constantly, and carefully, with far more than an intellectual interest.

A companion to John Barbara's Computer Forensics Standards and Controls
(December 2007/January 2008 Forensic Magzine®)
Appropriate Standards and Controls in Computer Forensics
Appropriate standards and controls must always be specified in the analytical procedure and their use documented in the case notes. This is a necessary quality assurance practice which will ensure that forensic hardware, operating systems, and forensic software are working correctly. However, they must be used prior to imaging evidentiary digital media. Likewise, any forensic software tools that are updated from previous versions or newly installed forensic software must be performance verified and/or validated prior to their use in casework.
