In this ‘How To’, we will walk through the process of dataset generation and comparison using the new Validation Tool in Amped FIVE. Designed to identify pixel value changes, the tool is a quick way to create initial datasets, and then compare them against others from different software versions or when FIVE is used on different workstations.

Being able to measure an object or a person (or an animal ?!) in a two dimensional image is in high demand these days within the forensic video community.
The following blog post will discuss measuring in a scene and what filters to use in Amped FIVE.

We all know (or should know!) that in Amped FIVE it is possible to calculate measurements such as the height of an unknown person or the speed of a vehicle from CCTV and other video evidence. And we have a variety of different filters in the Measurement group that can do the job just fine, such as Measure 1D, Measure 2D, Measure 3D and Speed Estimation 2D. But what filters shall we use? And which one is going to give us the most accurate results? It depends, of course.

Let’s have a look at the train of thought that will lead us to choose the right filter for our specific circumstances.

In the past few years, we have hosted many webinars about our products. During the sessions, we received lots of interesting questions from the participants. Some of them have been asked frequently, so we thought it may be interesting to write them down for people to read them. We take this opportunity to thank you for your participation and we look forward to meeting you or seeing you again at future webinars!

This article focuses on several simple Amped FIVE features, hints, and tips that may not be so obvious to you but will work wonders in your workflow! Read on to discover them all.

We hope you’re aware of the big news: a few weeks ago, an extraordinary Amped FIVE update rolled out bringing Speed Estimation 2d filter into the software. We’ve dedicated a blog post to explain what the filter does and how to use it, and we recommend that you read that post before going on with this one. Hereafter, indeed, we’ll be explaining how the filter works, how we compute the speed and the uncertainty. Happy reading!

One of the biggest challenges in Forensic Video Analysis (FVA), is the restoration and enhancement of motion blur. In this latest ‘How To’ article, published on Forensic Focus, David Spreadborough returns to Amped FIVE and takes us through one of this year’s new filters, Variable Motion Deblurring.

Learn how the filter works to turn blurred noise into restored and actionable data.
