Carmel

MotionDSP is developing groundbreaking video-enhancement software (code-named "Carmel") for consumers. Previously, this power to fix blurry, shaky, or dark "problem" videos was only available in MotionDSP's professional software tool for "CSI-style" video forensics.

Security: Ikena Reveal

Ikena Reveal

 

“MotionDSP's Ikena Reveal technology is the best I have used in 27 years on the job – in a gangland shooting case investigated by the Chicago DA’s office, Ikena Reveal brought out details as fine-grained as clothing logos from footage shot more than one hundred feet away in the worst possible conditions. Without Ikena Reveal, those details would have been forever lost.”
Robert Sanderson, AV Forensic Labs


Overview

Ikena Reveal is a video forensic solution for surveillance applications. Able to run on any Windows PC (laptop or desktop), its powerful multi-frame enhancement technology can quickly and dramatically extract information from poor video sources such as: surveillance cameras, mobile phones, and even YouTube videos. In seconds, faces and objects can be enhanced, and license plates can be read.

Ikena Reveal requires minimal training, runs well on inexpensive laptops, and very fast on high-end desktops.

See this short video for new features in Ikena Reveal:

Technology

MotionDSP’s technology extracts information from multiple frames of video, reconstructing details not visible in the original sequence. Ikena Reveal can then output both enhanced video sequences and high-resolution stills. Unlike standard frame-averaging techniques, Ikena Reveal's algorithms are capable of tracking complex motion, and can therefore enhance both moving and non-moving objects, and complex scenes which combine both camera motion and object motion. And, Ikena Reveal's multi-frame algorithms can significantly reduce both sensor and compression noise.
