Forensic Distance Determination from Videograms – Screen Copies
Abstract
The article discusses the examination of methods for determining distances from video recordings obtained in two ways: by shooting or capturing an image of the screen on which the original videogram is broadcast. A few specific examples are considered illustrating the algorithm for determining distances on such video captures. There are considered the details of each method, possible limitations and errors of determination depending on the quality of the source material and technical characteristics of the equipment used. The expert’s working stages are described including preliminary analysis of the videogram, selection of the most appropriate way to determine the distance and final evaluation of the results obtained.
