Abstract

This paper discusses the use of computer-generated animation (CGA) in a court of law, CGA is a way of visualising evidence or information for a particular case. In this paper, the case involves a fatal road collision. The concepts and methods under consideration described in this paper deal with the reliability and accuracy of CGA dependent upon the forensic evidence. The paper has five sections. The first explains the nature of animation and the distinction between animation and forensic animation. The second describes the general context of evidence, from a legal aspect. The third section analyses the correlation between evidence and knowledge, based on the theory of knowledge. The fourth section elucidates the reliability and accuracy of CGA based on the evidence that has been used to create the animation. The final section concludes the analysis by discussing whether a certain CGA is reliable and accurate enough to demonstrate an expert's opinion in a court of law.
