La cantidad de archivos multimedia en cualquier investigación policial moderna es asombrosa y ha llegado a un punto en el que la revisión manual es prácticamente imposible. Es en este punto en el que los sistemas de análisis de inteligencia artificial pueden ayudar a los agentes de policía a gestionar los archivos con sus alertas y funcionalidades de resumen.
Police case media files analytics
Most current police investigations will have a number of digital files related to them. Usually they are evidence, for example a suspect’s phone content or a security camera recording. The problem that arises with the growing number of media files in any police case is that their viewing or listening to takes an inordinate amount of time and, in some cases, is completely impractical or even impossible due to the sheer amount of material to analyze.
Luckily, AI Analytics platforms like Intelion can process all these media files automatically, 24/7, based on specified rules, to find specific information, like a face, number plate or voice, serving as operation centric platform.
Each operation has its own space within the platform, allowing law enforcement to organise and segment their investigations efficiently. Specific camera sources or archives can be assigned, users can be defined with differentiated access permissions and the appropriate AI analytics modules can be selected for each case. This structure ensures that all information from a police operation remains secure and centralised, yet can be shared with other police or judicial teams when necessary. In addition, users have customised access according to their role, ensuring that each officer or analyst sees only the relevant information.
This allows police officers to use their time in a more productive way, working on other cases, instead of scrolling through endless videos, looking for a particular detail. But just the automatic processing is not enough, as it requires the officers to check the found results (if any) from time to time. But even here AI can help.
How Intelion Uses AI for Video and Audio Summarization
Configurable alerts
Another important help AI Evidence Review platforms can provide is an alert system. The way this works is that the officer assigned to investigate the case specifies what he/she is looking for. This can be a specific face, a certain car type or color, or a numberplate. In fact, any result of any analytics module can be assigned to an alert.
When the system finds the indicated elements while analyzing the media files, it automatically raises an alarm and alerts the specified people. In Intelion this is completely configurable. For example, if a certain face is found, Officer A may be notified, but if a searched numberplate turns up on any camera, Officer B and C may be notified. Or even a complete department in some cases, when necessary.
Not only that, but the system is flexible regarding the communication system to be used in every case. Besides the standard messaging application, Intelion can also integrate with secure Law Enforcement specific and proprietary messaging systems, so the Officers receive the notifications on their usual devices (phone, in-car system, etc.)
This allows the police force to dedicate time to other cases, while the AI Analytics platform searches for the requested information, knowing that they will be notified immediately if something noteworthy is found. The system can also attach a short clip to the message, so the officer can see some seconds before and after the identification of the target element.
Resúmen de vídeo
Además, la función de resumen de video permite ver todos los fotogramas clave de la identificación resumidos en una sola pantalla. Al hacer clic en cualquiera de las imágenes, se reproduce el video justo en ese momento, para que los oficiales puedan ver el contexto de la acción. Esta funcionalidad permite ver solo los segmentos interesantes, de cientos de horas de metraje de video, ahorrando así tiempo durante el proceso de investigación y reduciendo la carga de trabajo de los oficiales. Esto ayuda a cerrar más casos en menos tiempo, concentrándose solo en la información relevante.
Informes
Por último, la función de informes es fundamental para compartir información entre departamentos o entre grupos de investigación. Los informes se pueden configurar individualmente para que contengan toda la información del caso, las detecciones, las miniaturas de esas detecciones, la información de tiempo y demás. Todo esto se puede exportar a varios formatos, incluido PDF, para compartir, enviar o archivar fácilmente.
Conclusion
Using AI Analytics with AI Evidence Review for police investigations nowadays is almost a must, due to the amount of digital information, mostly audio and video, that has to be processed to find evidence. AI systems are able to work 24/7 on the digital data, but thanks to their alarm system they become really useful, as they can work and alert the corresponding officer when any searched target is found in the footage. This saves valuable time, and allows the police forces to work on high value tasks, instead of watching endless hours of videos. Besides, summaries and reports reduce the effort further, providing information at a glance and to be shared with other agencies or colleagues.
