Enhancement & Clarification Techniques
Enhancement
This refers to the process of improving the visual quality of video footage to make important details more discernible. This may include increasing resolution, stabilizing shaky recordings, adjusting brightness and contrast, sharpening images, and reducing visual noise. The primary goal of enhancement is to make latent or obscured visual information more visible without altering the factual content of the video.
Clarification
This is a more targeted process aimed at reducing noise and improving the visibility of specific elements within the footage, while carefully preserving the original content and context. It is commonly used to clarify the presence or absence of evidence, such as identifying facial features, license plates, objects in low-quality or blurry video, without introducing artifacts or misleading alterations.
