ENGINEERINGNET.EU -- Forensic Pathways claims to have developed cutting edge technology that automatically identifies illegal video content and digital image, applicable to child abuse and terrorist material in a matter of seconds.
"It will save police services valuable time trawling through hours of material and will result in billions of videos and still images being generated and shared daily by police internationally for the first time ever," the company states in an official press release.
The software now enters the commercial faze, by the signing of an international distribution agreement with the Icelandic Videntifier Technologies.
Dr. Richard Leary, MBE, of Forensic Pathways : "Modern communication technology has resulted in billions of videos and still images being generated and shared daily. The challenge is the ability to use technology to automatically process enormous amounts of data and identify illegal content."
"This global venture provides the solution, speeding up investigation time and improving the working conditions for investigators, as well as ensuring the ability for cross border collaboration."
