1 Introduction to Audio Forensics 8 th MyCERT SIG 25/04/2006 By: Mohd Zabri Adil Talib zabriadil.talib@niser.org.my (C) CFL NISER 1
2 Agenda Audio forensics definition Audio forensics origin Technologies and methodologies of audio forensics Audio enhancement demonstration (C) CFL NISER 2
3 Audio forensics introduction Definition of forensics The use of science and technology to investigate and establish facts in criminal or civil courts of law Definition of audio forensics Can be defined as The application of audio science and technology to investigate and establish facts in criminal or civil courts of law. (C) CFL NISER 3
4 Audio forensics origin Spectrograph was developed by Bell Telephone laboratory. Acoustic scientist use it during World War II to identify enemy voices on telephones and radios. *Time-Frequency-Amplitude (TFA) Spectrograph The technology keeps growing and more powerful techniques have figured. (C) CFL NISER 4
5 Technologies and methodologies of audio forensics Specialty areas: Voice identification Audibility analysis Enhancement Listenability enhancement Intelligence enhancement (C) CFL NISER 5
6 Technologies and methodologies of audio forensics Authenticity analysis Sound identification Event sequence analysis Dialogue decoding Other signal analysis (C) CFL NISER 6
7 Voice identification Comparison of a known voice to an unknown voice to determine the identity of the unknown voice. Every voice has its own phonetic characteristics. Involve T-F-A spectrographic and machine/computer analysis of the audio signals. (C) CFL NISER 7
8 Voice identification The analysis consists of the comparison of similarities and differences of elements of speech such as bandwidths, fundamental frequency, prosody, vowel formant trajectory, occlusive, plosives, fricatives, pitch striations, formant energy, breath patterns, nasal resonance, coupling, and any special speech pathology of the speaker. Voice identification evidence remains controversial and faces passionate opposition in courts of law. (C) CFL NISER 8
9 Audibility analysis Reconstruction of an acoustic event to determine if the event could be heard by a person of normal hearing ability or by subject in question Could the event be heard? Was it obscured by a masking signals? (C) CFL NISER 9
10 Enhancement: Listenability enhancement Applying equalization, compression, amplitude increase and limiting to make it more listenable. Original After processing (C) CFL NISER 10
11 Enhancement: Intelligibility enhancement More complex and demands engineering task. Involves spectrographic analysis, complex deconvolution filtering, wideband and multiband compression, amplitude increase and limiting. (C) CFL NISER 11
12 Enhancement: Intelligibility enhancement Sometimes the process reveals unknown audio events. (C) CFL NISER 12
13 Authenticity analysis Determine the simultaneous origins with the acoustic event represented Verify the authenticity of a suspicious recording through physical inspection, aural analysis, frequency, energy, amplitude and formant structure analysis, magnified visual inspection and photographic documentation of results. (C) CFL NISER 13
14 Sound identification Comparison of a known sound to an unknown sound to determine the identity of the unknown sound Sometime it was not a barely audible sound but an acoustic illusion caused by a recording device or an extraneous source (C) CFL NISER 14
15 Event sequence analysis Analysis of the sequence of acoustic events to determine the critical components such as timing, frequency and amplitude of a recording (C) CFL NISER 15
16 Event sequence analysis To verify the authenticity of a recording (C) CFL NISER 16
17 Dialogue decoding Determine what has been said in a recording based on the voice pattern in a spectrograph. (C) CFL NISER 17
18 Dialogue decoding However it is not within the realm of audio forensics but it is more towards the realm of a speech scientist. (C) CFL NISER 18
19 Other signal analysis Evaluation of other sonic events inside a recording that is extraneous to the investigation. It may reveal important information such as background conversation, machine rhythms, engine frequency, reverberation or even gunshot. (C) CFL NISER 19
20 Questions? (C) CFL NISER 20
21 Thank you for listening. THE END (C) CFL NISER 21
