A UK digital forensics company has developed cutting edge technology to police to combat child pornography and terrorism.
Midlands-based Forensic Pathways has developed the innovative technology that can enable police to automatically identify illegal video content and digital images relating to child abuse or terrorism in a matter of seconds.
It will save them 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.
Forensic Pathways this week signed a joined agreement with Icelandic company Videntifier Technologies to work together to supply the automatic video recognition software to the international market.
The global significance of this joint venture was highlighted by the presence of the President of Iceland, Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, and the UK ambassador to Iceland, Ian Whitting, both of whom witnessed the signing of the agreement between the companies.
Both companies have invested and developed cutting edge technology that automatically identifies illegal video content and digital image, applicable to child abuse and terrorist material.
This joint venture follows on from a successful period of collaboration between Videntifier Technologies and Forensic Pathways Ltd which has seen sales in the UK growing significantly in the first quarter of 2012.
