Both companies have invested and developed cutting edge technology that automatically identifies illegal video content and digital image, applicable to child abuse and terrorist material.This will help forensic teams globally be able to screen and look for images of child sexual abuse media (aka child pornography). I for one wish them well in their new venture. I will be looking forward to blogging and posting stories where they have captured pedophiles through this technology. This is great news! Rosie

Reykjavík, February 21, 2012
Today sees the launch of a new global
venture and investment between Forensic Pathways Ltd (UK) and
Videntifier Technologies ehf (Iceland), both of whom are known for
innovation in the digital forensic market. This joint venture involves a
major investment by both companies in bringing together and exploiting
their 21st century technology to combat child pornography and terrorism.
The new company will be headquartered in London with offices in
Reykjavik, Iceland, Perth, Australia, Asia and North America.
Both companies have invested and
developed cutting edge technology that automatically identifies illegal
video content and digital image, applicable to child abuse and terrorist
material. ” Police authorities still work very locally and are isolated
from each other, while the crime scene is very well connected,
globally,” says Herwig Lejsek, CEO of Videntifier Technologies, “Police
efforts have been isolated because no tools have been available that can
effectively handle large amounts of multimedia data in forensic
investigations.” Dr. Richard Leary, MBE, of Forensic Pathways agrees:
“Modern communication technology has resulted in billions of videos and
still images being generated and shared daily. The challenge is the
ability to use technology to automatically process enormous amounts of
data and identify illegal content. This global venture provides the
solution, speeding up investigation time and improving the working
conditions for investigators, as well as ensuring the ability for cross
border collaboration.”
This joint venture follows on from a
successful period of collaboration between Videntifier Technologies and
Forensic Pathways Ltd which has seen sales in the UK growing
significantly in the first quarter of 2012.
“The global significance of this joint
venture is that it effectively fast tracks technologies designed to
protect the vulnerable ie our children, along with all countries
committed to the fight against global terrorism” says Deborah Leary,
OBE, CEO of Forensic Pathways Ltd. “This joint venture will ensure a
stronger presence in the worldwide market and ensure that innovation is
not only achieved but that it actually reaches the communities it is
designed to serve.”
