Subject field(s)
  • Compartment - Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)

The Audio and Video Analysis Section(AVAS) at National Headquarters can assist investigators by : enhancing audio recordings to improve the intelligibility of voices or assist in the identification of sounds in the recording; enhancing video recordings to make aspects of the image easier to see or to demultiplex a video so that only a given scene is viewed; comparing voices to provide corroborating evidence as to whether two recorded voices are one and the same person; authenticating audio and video recordings to determine if a recording has been tampered with electronically or manually; examining audio and video recordings to determine whether a recording is a copyrighted original or an unauthorized copy; analysing sounds such as gun shots; repairing physically damaged tapes and recovering previously recorded material; consulting with Crown counsel on audio and video recording evidence; and giving expert testimony in court.

OBS

À la Direction générale, cette section peut aider les enquêteurs en fournissant les services suivants : enrichir les enregistrements sonores pour améliorer l'intelligibilité des voix ou faciliter l'identification de bruits dans l'enregistrement; enrichir les enregistrements vidéo pour pouvoir visionner certains aspects de l'image et pour démultiplexer une vidéo dans le but de cerner uniquement une scène quelconque; comparer des voix pour fournir des preuves corroborantes à savoir si deux voix proviennent de la même personne; authentifier des enregistrements sonores et vidéo afin de déterminer si un enregistrement a été trafiqué électroniquement ou manuellement; examiner des enregistrements sonores et vidéo afin de déterminer si un enregistrement est l'original protégé par le droit d'auteur ou une copie non autorisée; analyser des sons tels que les décharges d'armes à feu; réparer des bandes magnétiques endommagées et recouvrer des enregistrements rendus inaccessibles par les dommages; consulter le procureur de la Couronne sur des enregistrements sonores et vidéo servant d'éléments de preuve; témoigner à titre d'expert devant les tribunaux.

OBS

Section de l'analyse des enregistrements sonores et vidéo : Bien que ce nom soit tiré du «Manuel des opérations» de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada, l'appellation «Section de l'analyse audio-vidéo» est préférable, car «enregistrement sonore et vidéo» est plutôt l'équivalent de «sound and video recording».

Record 2 2006-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

The qualitative evaluation of a satellite image characteristics such as resolution, contrast and colour.

CONT

Generally speaking, image quality evaluation has something to do with the purpose of the image. Image quality has two implications : fidelity and intelligibility. The former describes how the reconstructed image differs from the original one, with mean-square-error as a typical example, and the latter shows the ability through which the image can offer information to people, with classification-accuracy as a typical example. Both are foundamental in measuring the image quality.

OBS

image quality; IQ: term and abbreviation officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

French

Domaine(s)

DEF
