Unraveling the Unseen: 

In our Forensic Mysteries studies, we explore how our Synthesize Vision™ framework supports forensic teams by enhancing the visual interpretation of evidence and witness descriptions. This section showcases our collaborative efforts to provide detailed and accurate visual composites that complement traditional forensic methods.

Unlock the potential of eyewitness memories with generative renders.


Challenge


Suspect identification based on eyewitness testimony is crucial in criminal investigations.
Traditional facial composite sketches often lack the precision needed for clear identification.
Our challenge was to transform these composite sketches into photorealistic renders to enhance their utility in law enforcement.
 

Approach


We consulted with law enforcement agencies to understand their needs and the limitations of traditional composite sketches. 
Our research focused on AI and machine learning models capable of converting sketches into photorealistic images.
We collected a comprehensive dataset of composite sketches and corresponding photographs to train our AI model.

Solution


We deployed advanced AI algorithms to interpret and enhance composite sketches into realistic images
and are currently developing a user-friendly interface for forensic artists to easily obtain high-quality photorealistic outputs.

D. B. Cooper, also known as Dan Cooper, was an unidentified man who hijacked Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305, a Boeing 727 aircraft, in United States airspace on November 24, 1971.

Postmortem and Antemortem Depictions




Challenge

A postmortem drawing is one that is generated when human remains are found in reasonably good condition. The forensic artist works from morgue photographs, crime scene photographs or by viewing the actual body. The forensic artist is asked to create an approximate facial likeness in order to help provide an identity to an unidentified decedent.
the accurate reconstruction of post-mortem visuals plays a crucial role in investigations and identification processes. Traditional methods often rely on artist renditions and limited data, resulting in less precise reconstructions. The challenge was to leverage AI and machine learning to transform post-mortem visual assets into highly detailed and lifelike images, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of forensic reconstructions.

Approach

collecting extensive datasets of post-mortem images, photos, and corresponding lifelike images. This data was meticulously analyzed to understand the intricacies and patterns necessary for accurate reconstruction.
Utilizing advanced machine learning algorithms, we developed a framework capable of interpreting and enhancing post-mortem visuals.
Solution

The AI-driven solution we developed converts post-mortem visual assets, such as sketches, photos or incomplete visual data, into photorealistic and lifelike images. This technology leverages sophisticated machine learning algorithms to generate highly accurate and detailed reconstructions, providing forensic experts with powerful tools for identification and investigation
