Major Upgrade Adds: Body-cam stabilization, auto-brightness, lens correction, and new 64-bit, GPU-accelerated architecture
What’s New In Ikena Forensic 7
Tuned for body cameras
Ikena Forensic 7 implements two new features specifically for body worn camera (BWC) video: a new stabilization algorithm specifically tuned to the movement of a running human — a police officer chasing a suspect, for example — and lens correction profiles to correct the radial distortion caused by extreme wide-angle lenses used in BWC.

New algorithms for dark scenes
Ikena Forensic’s new automatic brightness filter
Ikena Forensic features MotionDSP’s new Automatic Brightness filter, which is specifically designed to automatically and dynamically adjust for dark scenes. Turn on the Automatic Brightness filter, and Ikena Forensic automatically adjusts for dark conditions, and dynamically adjusts to the changing scene — for example, if the camera moves from indoors to outdoors, the filter will adjust to keep the lighting balanced. Ikena Forensic’s existing contrast filter has also been improved to allow for more intuitive use, revealing details in dark scenes that might otherwise be obscured by a single bright light source, like a streetlight.
New 64-bit architecture for high-performance with HD video
Ikena Forensic 7 implements a new 64-bit architecture which allows it to work seamlessly with high resolution, 4K video. Our customers will see the same easy-to-use interface, but will find working with large resolution files faster and smoother.
“Body worn cameras and in-car systems are creating massive amounts of video for police agencies to process. At the same time, the use of video as evidence is growing exponentially, so agencies need an easy-to-use, and easy-to-train video forensic tool that will allow even small departments to do their own video forensic work,” said Sean Varah, CEO of MotionDSP. “Ikena Forensic was already easy-to-use, but with new technology, we are making it even easier to use. The new brightness control is a great example: turn it on with one click, and it works, automatically adjusting its settings to lighting variations in the scene. This kind of one-click functionality allows even a first-time user to get good results, fast.”
And, as always, Ikena Forensic is fully accelerated for NVIDIA GPUs, allowing any computer with an NVIDIA graphics card to process video up to 10 times faster than only on the CPU.
Ikena Forensic 7 is available now and live webinars are open for sign-up.
