ANZFSS WA Branch Event: Insights into Multimedia Forensics

With the use of smart phones, vehicle dashcam, body-worn cameras, and the ever-growing CCTV network, media-based forensics becomes critical evidence for courts. It can offer a record of the actual video and audio of a crime, with multimedia forensics involving diverse requests from analysing events, identifying individuals, recognising objects, and synchronising device data to create a true timeline for evidence. In this presentation, Dr Todd Hutchison will share insights to how media-based evidence is being used to analyse, sequence, explain, and solve crimes, as well as the complexities it presents.
