This was one of the more entertaining parts of the trial. The defense stated that "AI and logarithms" (algorithms) were used to enhance the image when zoomed in, and the prosecution claimed that it was no different from a magnifying glass. Both are right in some way. I think the defense raised a good point that while interpolation algorithms are everywhere, people don't generally understand that by definition these introduce new information not present in the original. It's a general problem with technology, but isn't brought up often in court. On the other hand, I think the prosecution's magnifying glass analogy was apt, but for the wrong reasons; it's an older form of upscaling technology that introduces its own distortions, but is accepted as accurate. It is kind of ironic that the format of the video and whatever transcoding has been performed wasn't delved into. |
