What Chakshu is

Chakshu is a forensic image and video examination platform for investigators working with digital media. Its 191 filters support tasks such as sharpening, denoising, deblurring, low-light correction, contrast adjustment, and artefact reduction. Analysts can use built-in AI processing or import custom ONNX models, then apply tools for stabilisation, deinterlacing, lens and perspective correction, super-resolution, and frame-rate adjustment.

Video review includes navigation by frame or time, with access to timestamps, I/P/B frame types, and per-frame metadata. Processing leaves the source media unchanged; live enhancement chains can be undone, redone, compared, or reset. Analysts can also track objects, measure, add shapes and grids, and group notes. Audio extraction, multichannel audio-video synchronisation, subtitle and timestamp overlays, and privacy redaction are supported. Evidence features include hash binding, secure-copy validation, audit logs, and custody records. Exports include selected frames, frame sheets, evidence bundles, and structured reports. Pricing is available on request; the product page invites prospective users to request a walkthrough.
