University of Indianapolis Unveils Video Processing Lab

The University of Indianapolis has unveiled a new video processing lab on their campus. This video processing lab is the world’s first lab of it’s kind.

During a news conference this morning, administrators demonstrated how the state-of-the-art software can make otherwise unusable images valuable. Grant Fredericks, principal instructor of the Law Enforcement & Emergency Services Video Association, demonstrated how applying computer filters to a darkened surveillance video of a car allowed investigators to easily read the license plate.

This quote comes from the University’s website:

With law enforcement officers from around the world on hand Feb. 26, the University of Indianapolis and the Law Enforcement and Emergency Services Video Association is opening a one-of-a-kind media analysis laboratory, the world’s first permanent facility for training criminal investigators in processing and managing video evidence.

I’ve contacted individuals at the university to see if I might be able to get a tour and really see what some of the capabilities are of forensic video processing. I’ll let you know what they say when I hear back from them.
