3. Forensic magnification: We'll just enhance this 8-bit 0.3 Megapixel image and... see that guy who was about 5 pixels tall? This image enhancement clearly indicates his watch was 3 minutes fast! shocked In fact computers are often terribly misrepresented in forensic shows in all sorts of other ways. I sooooooo wanted to say this one, everytime a movie does it my friends all stare because they think im going to start to bitch Now that's something I do totally agree with. There's really no way to enhance images to this extend. You might be able to sharpen things up to get objects out of a blurry picture, but you won't be able to zoom in, enhance ever more and get a crystal clear image.  Waaay too far-fetched and frankly it's also overused in movies.

1) car wheels also squeak on sand, grass and gravel. 2) EVERY fucking bomb has a huge-ass display on it, so everybody knows when it's going to go off. also, the bomb commando (or the hero) always manages to defuse the bomb just seconds before 0:00, which takes incredibly long. 3) every woman fleeing from a psychopath killer/ alien/ some sort of monster has to stumble and fall at least ONCE. 4) the demoman is always black. always. 5) every gun seems to have infinite amounts of ammo, as long as it's wielded by the good guys.
i'd really love to make a movie where every_freaking_cliché is used in an incredibly absurd way. so absurd that it, in fact, turns into awesomeness again. kinda like the naked gun, only more ridiculous. if that's even possible. dunno. *looks at spike*

Actually, there are state of the art techniques to recover image data from low detailed pictures. Have a sneak peak on one page I stumbled across some days ago. The recovered tank sequence is remarkable imho: http://users.soe.ucsc.edu/~htakeda/kernelreg/kernelreg.htm Also analysis in the fourier domain with gabor wavelets allows face recognition even on blurred, noisy or low resolution images. Nevertheless, the way they show it on television is ridiculous, that is right ;-)
