Abstract
The article under consideration reveals the existing problems of using digital media containing photo and video information. It is concluded that the traditional methods of forensic portrait examination are not always applicable, since a significant part of the images are not suitable for research. Proposals have been developed to improve the use of photo and video images by creating specialized data banks: images of famous persons, images of unknown persons, their anthropometric and functional parameters. It is recommended to improve forensic techniques by studying the dynamic characteristics of a person, individual elements of his appearance. It is recommended to pay attention to the possibilities of anthropometric identification by the anatomical elements of the body, where the dimensions of individual parts of the body are taken as signs, and identification is carried out by their totality. It has been established that the dimensions can be set according to known objects in the frame and according to conventional units, where a separate element is taken as a parameter. It is recommended to actively use the existing experience in recreating the missing elements based on the technologies of subjective portraits. The need for analytical work in order to obtain additional forensic information displayed on the frames is indicated. The possibility of searching and identifying persons by their appearance on the Internet using specialized programs is indicated. It is recommended to pay attention to the digital component of the image, by which it is possible to determine the time and place of shooting, the camera model, the conditions in which the shooting was carried out, and obtaining other information. The conclusion is made about the possibility of conducting research of the situation in the framework of forensic-traceological examination.
