(Malaysiakini) Two American college professors who conducted facial recognition
analysis on the Carcosa sex video alleged to be of opposition leader
Anwar Ibrahim, shied away from the media after the Datuk T trial ended in a guilty verdict for the video screeners late last month.
During the Datuk T trial, defence counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah claimed
that the computer science duo from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New
Hampshire had concluded a 99.99 percent match between the man in the
video and a known photo of the PKR de facto leader.

However the professors have not return multiple requests from Malaysiakini for comment on the subject.
Of the two academics, Lorenzo Torresani, an assistant professor of computer science, has written several papers on 3-D modeling, object classification and motion styles.
The National Science Foundation Career award recipient previously worked at several industrial research labs, including Microsoft Research Cambridge, Like.com and Digital Persona.

Hany
Farid - whose research focuses on digital forensics, image analysis,
computer vision and human perception - has been teaching computer
science for more than a decade.
Farid also serves as chief technology officer and co-founder of photo forensics company Fourandsix Technologies.
The go-to consultant for image authentication and forensic photographic analysis appeared in the headlines recently for debunking doctored photos of Osama bin Laden's corpse and taking a closer look at former US rep Anthony Weiner's tweeted misdeeds.
With regards to the video screen by Datuk T the results of their reports "verified the authenticity of the video, that there was no tampering or any act of superimposing and that it originated from a DVR camcorder taken from Shazryl," said deputy public prosecutor Kamalluddin Md Said when reading the facts of the case in court on June 24.
Muhammad Shafee meanwhile showed a copy of the June 4 analysis to reporters during the trial but refused to allow the document to be reproduced.
The percentage of certainty was not included in the statement of facts read out in open court and the figure was blacked out in a copy of the statement obtained by Malaysiakini.
