why is the trial and witness bogged down in the pixel addition changing color.... why is that significant?
I believe because the DA wants to use a video that’s from google, that changes the image and the defense doesn’t want it in. (I think this is the issue)
Looks to me like he is trying to get the photos tossed out because of possible distortion during the enlargement process.
Unless there are frames removed I do not see the point in what they are discussing
Its crappy quality cell phone video to start with adjusting brightness/ contrast to make the image better isn’t like editing out video frames.
Jury must be getting sickandtired of this
Maybe the cops software program should be called “ChangeEvidence, vers. 1.4”
Defense is trying to exclude enlargement of drone video that prosecution says shows Kyle pointing his gun at people.
Defense is arguing “added colors,” which of course is what interpolation does. Interpolation is mathematically picking an in between value. The image can be enlarged by enlarging the pixels, everything the same color, then it looks pixelated. Smoothing it out necessitates adding pixels and blending colors.
I think the image may be misleading because of the distance between camera and objects. A view from one direction can’t - flat can’t - reveal with any certatinty the direction of a two dimensional “line” (barrel of the gun). He could be pointing left 10 degrees or right 10 degrees and it looks the same from the side.
