Night-Vision Forensic Video Enhancement

I’m sitting on a 5–15-minute night-vision recording that holds crucial information, but the raw footage is noisy, dark and filmed at an angle that makes it hard to pick out faces or distinctive body marks. I need a technically skilled video specialist who has no issue working with adult content to push the material as far as current tools allow.

Your mission is to:
• Strip away as much night-vision noise as possible while preserving detail.
• Bring forward facial features so I can recognise who is present.
• Isolate tattoos, scars or other body markings that might confirm identity.

Because I’m not certain whether my copy is the original, you’ll likely begin by checking its compression level and, if needed, guiding me on how to secure a higher-quality export from the camera or DVR. From there you can apply your preferred workflow—Topaz Video AI, DaVinci Resolve, Neat Video, custom OpenCV scripts, whatever combination you trust—to stabilise, upscale, denoise and sharpen each frame.

Deliverables
1. An enhanced version of the full video in a common lossless or visually lossless format.
2. A side-by-side or split-screen comparison clip so I can judge improvements at a glance.
3. High-resolution stills of any frames where faces or body marks become legible, labelled by timecode.

Acceptance criteria
• Faces or body markings are noticeably clearer than in the source file.
• No added artefacts that could mislead identification.
• All metadata and chain-of-custody notes included so results can stand up if needed later.

I understand there are limits to what’s possible, but I’m ready to get started immediately and will remain available for quick feedback rounds. Let me know the software you plan to use and an estimated turnaround once you’ve seen a sample frame.
