Development of an image processing open-source software for video-surveillance devices

In the paper we present our project concerning a modular image processing environment to be used as a forensic tool by law enforcement laboratories in the analysis of crime scene videos and images. It is designed to overcome one of the main drawbacks of standard image processing tools, mainly the lack of full control and documentation on the operations which have been performed on the images; moreover, some advanced nonlinear operators have been introduced, which can provide improved performances for some selected tasks.
