digital forensics, object detection, YOLOv8Abstract
Digital forensics faces the challenge of analyzing large collections of phоtographs that may contain key evidence in a criminal investigation. This paper presents a solution, module for the Autopsy tool, “Weapon and Money Detector”, which uses the YOLOv8 deep learning model to detect objects such as guns, knives, banknotes and credit cards, significantly speeding up the analysis process. The proposed solution shows significantly better performance in object detection compared to existing solutions.
