Abstract

Tracking down producers and distributors of offensive video material, in particular child pornography, has become an ever growing focus of the world's law enforcement agencies. We describe Videntifier Forensic, a new service which radically improves the forensic video identification process, by providing law enforcement agencies with a robust, fast and easy-to-use video identification system. Using this service, a single mouse-click is sufficient to automatically scan an entire storage device and classify all videos. We give an overview of the service and the underlying technology components. We then describe an acceptance test, performed by the Icelandic police forces, which demonstrates the robustness of the service.
