Belkasoft Evidence Center Helps Solve Crime

The ability to process office documents in a wide range of formats enables investigators to perform near-instant full-text search among all the documents discovered on the suspect’s PC.
Low-level access to hard disk and system structures means that even data that’s been deleted by the suspect cannot escape from investigators.

Automated Detection of Pornographic Content in Videos and Still Images
One of the key features of the Ultimate edition of Belkasoft Evidence Center is the ability to analyze multimedia content such as videos and still images, searching suspect computers for signs of illicit contents. Automated pornography detection helps quickly detect and locate illicit material in fully automated mode.
The detection of pornographic content makes use of neural networks in order to automatically discover matching content in still images and key frames extracted from video files. The neural network algorithms used in Belkasoft Evidence Center represent today’s state of art, which allows a certain level of false positive and false negative detections.
To help investigators detect more suspicious images, the tool assigns images and key frames numeric values representing the probability of an image to contain illicit content. Images can be sorted by that probability to allow highly suspicious images appear first on the list.
