Five // Features
Analyze. Restore. Enhance. Certify.
"Inadmissible" is word that none of us like to hear. As forensic imaging scientists we know that the quality of image and video evidence can often compromise the outcome of a case. To solve all types of problems and react to all types of situations, we designed Amped Five with an uncompromising approach and attention to detail to provide cutting-edge performance and quality analysis of evidence. Amped Five is the most complete software for enhancing and analyzing images and videos for forensic investigators. A single tool kit to analyze both crime scene photos and enhance surveillance/intelligence video designed specifically to meet the forensic professional's needs. Amped Five is designed to do a lot of things, but "inadmissible" is not one of them.
General Features
- Uniform user interface and workflow: Load, save, process, analyze in the same way for single images, sequences of pictures, or videos.
- Instant results: add, configure, move, and modify an unlimited number of filters, in real time even while playing video.
- Intelligent and repeatable: automatically apply the same filters sequence to different files to avoid resetting all filters for different images from the same source or environment.
- Apply the filters only to a region of interest of the image, or select frames of interest in a sequence.
- Flexibility with technology: choose between classical standard techniques or latest state-of-the-art algorithms.
- Precise control over images: operate with pixel level precision on selections and measurements on images.
- Document evidence that wins: Amped Five can automatically generate detailed reports so that the investigations process is clearly documented.
File Formats
- Load image files from the most common formats, such as bitmap, jpeg, tiff, targa, jpeg2000, png.
- Load video files from almost any digital format, sourced from NTSC, PAL and almost any other system such as mobile phones and internet content; users can decode most video formats by using internal libraries and codecs. Amped Five's complete internal library allows decoding even if your system does not have the required codecs installed.
- Convert a sequence of static images to present and control as if it were video. Transcode video to a different format or transform it into a sequence of images or vice versa.
- Multiple video frames may be selected in either a consecutive or random sequence.
- Five is secure. You can easily check for unauthorized modifications by verifying the file hash-code to maintain strict evidence handling procedures to avoid contamination that could lose a case.
- Visualize images Exif data.
Image Editing Functions
- Standard image editing features allow the user to instantaneously apply basic editing functions such as crop, flip, color to grayscale conversions, channel extraction, zoom and image rotation.
- Correct geometric distortions caused by wide angle lenses. Amped Five also allows the user to convert images taken from an omnidirectional camera to a panoramic format.
- Correct the perspective in order to see the picture of the scene from a different angle.
- Resize the image with advanced algorithms, which ensures a higher definition than would be obtained with common interpolation algorithms used in other software.
- Convert interlaced videos into progressive ones without loss of information.
- Improve contrast and brightness manually, adjusting intensity curves, or speed workflow with automatic enhancement algorithms.
- Analyze images with various threshold and edge detection filters.
- Measure real world distances, heights, and lengths from images or video frames using Five's advanced measuring tool.
Image and Video Filtering Functions
- Improve image details (unsharp masking, rational sharpening).
- Reduce noise (averaging, Gaussian, median, bilateral, rational smoothing filters).
- Apply custom kernel filters.
- Reduce compression artifacts with deblocking algorithm.
- Remove interferences or image background (such as banknote watermark) with Fourier filter.
- Correct optical and motion blur resulting from fast movement or lack of focus.
- Remove noise from a video with temporal smoothing and frame integration.
- Improve shaking video with image stabilization.
- Correct and modify the camera viewpoint in different frames with perspective alignment.
