LTU Technologies Releases LTU-Finder 3.0

LTU Technologies announced the release of LTU-Finder v. 3.0, a tool for image and video recognition in the field of computer forensics. Offered as a trusted plug-in to Guidance Software's EnCase, a computer forensic tool used in law enforcement, government and legal professionals, LTU-Finder reduces the time required to identify and review relevant image and video files collected during a digital investigation. Likewise, to help users obtain relevant reference data LTU is authorized to share the child porn "DNA" reference set of a major Federal law enforcement agency. LTU-Finder combines LTU's image and video content recognition technology with Guidance Software's computer and enterprise investigation capabilities to increase the speed and scope of forensic and legal investigations as well as e-discovery. Today's unveiling of LTU-Finder includes enhanced image and video recognition capabilities and introduces text data identification tools that further automate large-scale file searches in the legal, e-discovery and law enforcement fields. LTU-Finder also includes automatic document identification tools that separate relevant scanned documents, like e-faxes, from other content such as personal photos or web graphics. LTU-Finder leverages the same core Image DNA technology offered in its multimedia content control solutions. All relevant information about images and videos is indexed within a digital signature, or "image DNA", that examines each pixel of an image in order to identify the key visual features. Additionally, LTU-Finder, like all of LTU's offerings, has the ability to identify duplicated and modified images and flag and match images against those in centralized databases or from case data files.
