“This talk describes various applications that assist digital forensics investigators and law enforcement during the collection of evidence and in ongoing investigations.
As hard drives get larger and larger, it is not uncommon in digital forensics to be presented with evidence from a system that contains thousands, or even tens of thousands of photos, videos and website links.
Created as part of a toolset to assist in the detection of child pornography, these various software products can also help investigators locate facial images, even if the images are inside of a file without a standard graphics or video file extension.
Additional tools are also availble to extract frames from various video files and use those images to identify and obtain even more artifacts related to the case.
There are also many other applications for “”facial recognition”" software including network and computer security, criminal, social media and private investigation purposes that will also be discussed.”
