Forensic expertise based on satellite imagery is a procedural action that involves conducting investigations and providing expert opinions on issues that require the use of satellite and/or aerial photographs and specialized knowledge. It is requested by the authority or individual authorized to appoint forensic expertise, in order to establish facts that need to be proven in a specific case.
The basis for conducting forensic expertise is a ruling or decision of the authority or individual authorized to appoint forensic expertise.
The use of satellite imagery and aerial photographs, which provide information about the present and the past, georeferenced in space and time, is a relatively new and indispensable method of evidence presentation in judicial practice. These images are valuable for proper verification, investigation of crimes, and presentation of cases in court. Traditional forensic examinations involve the detection, identification, collection, and cataloging of physical evidence for presentation in court, and Earth remote sensing data serves as evidential elements in a wide range of legal proceedings.
Geo Innoter LLC was recognized as the Best Expert Company in the field of forensic examination based on satellite and aerial imagery data for the year 2021 (Judicial and Expert Chamber of the Russian Federation, dated April 22, 2022).
