It’s a frequent scene in television crime dramas: Clever police technicians zoom in on a security camera video to read a license plate or capture the face of a hold-up artist. But in real life, enhancing this low-quality video to focus in on important clues hasn’t been an easy task. Until now.
Prof. Leonid Yaroslavsky of Tel Aviv University and his colleagues have developed a new video “perfection tool” to help investigators enhance raw video images and identify suspects. Commissioned by a defense-related company to improve what the naked eye cannot see, the tool can be used with live video or with recordings, in color or black-and-white.
“This enhancement of resolution can be a critical factor in locating terrorists or identifying criminal suspects,” says Prof. Yaroslavsky. His team’s findings were recently published in Optical Letters and the Journal of Real Time Image Processing. (more…)

UFOs Over Washington - July 16 2002
The UFO America team travels to Washington D.C. to meet with former Air Force One engineer, Wilbur Allen who claims to have photographed UFOs flying over the US Capitol Building on July 16, 2002. An investigation conducted by the Capitol Police and a report made by Renny Rogers, another D.C. resident claiming he witnessed two F-16s chasing a UFO within days of Wilbur’s sighting, add to the mystery. A nighttime reenactment is conducted by the team at the capitol to recreate Wilbur Allen’s photographs. Video footage of ground and air traffic is also captured for analysis. (more…)
