After a long wait, I finally have a candidate from Vsite who is interested in image forensics, a perfect challenge. There are a lot of talks about tools, applications and methods on how to use image forensics in our law enforcement community.
Digital image forensics is a big field running at a very fast pace. Our position is more towards practical application and tools for handling and comparing images rather than basic scientific work. Most of the practical problems in our local community are in the classification and recognition of images extracted from mobiles devices, computers etc. It boils down to handling hashes and effectively working with a huge number of files. I believe we will have to tackle this part of the situation in order to propose or implement a solution which can automate such tasks.
We will all have to discuss the possibilities in order to combine the fresh inquisitive mind of the students with the tools and realities of law enforcement, while at the same time getting some practical results. My idea is to shape a practical part for a graduation thesis into practical tools or systems which have to be used in real life and also to be a proof of concepts for further work and expansion,
I really hope for some nice student work, useful tools and a few published articles.
I'll post about how events will go, can be interesting and inspiring too.
