Concern for the safety of major sports events that Brazil will host in the upcoming years will be discussed by officials, forensic experts, researchers and students at the International Conference of Forensic Science in Multimedia and Electronic Security.
The Dutch Forensic Institute scientist Zeno Geradts will present a study on the development of images and videos analysis for forensic use. An expert in image analysis and biometrics, the speaker currently develops projects involving digital and multimedia evidence in the areas of camera identification, video streams repair and image analysis.
The use of such technology may inhibit the actions of criminals and troublesome fans during the 2013 Confederations Cup , 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.
