Super-Resolution Video Analysis for Forensic Investigations

Super-resolution algorithms typically improve the resolution of a video frame by mapping and performing signal processing operations on data from frames immediately preceding and immediately following the frame of interest. However, these algorithms ignore forensic considerations. In particular, the high-resolution video evidence they produce could be challenged on the grounds that it incorporates data or artifacts that were not present in the original recording.
