Through the use of special technology, all details of the scene of the crime or incident can be recorded and processed according to requirements. Exact measurements can then be mapped for the investigation process and essential details can be reconstructed in the overall context of the event or criminal act. The various options include:
Creation of sketches
Special sketches and location representations are created by surveying with a 3D laser scanner or a photogrammetric survey of the location, possibly using images taken from a helicopter.
Volume determination
Determining the volume of goods transported or stored (e.g. illegal waste dump with pollutants) can be used in investigative proceedings, for example, to answer questions about the quantity of goods transported or stored and thus substantiate allegations.
Determining the direction of fire
When a firearm is used, it is usually of interest where the shooter fired from. Was the person in a vehicle or an adjacent object? Were other people at risk? The direction of the shot can be calculated using a 3D laser scanner process and thus the location of the shooter can be determined.
Determining the field of vision
A procedure similar to determining the direction of fire is used to determine the field of vision. Here, the location of witnesses, injured parties and/or suspects is determined and evaluated, taking into account the course of the crime described. The result enables statements and conclusions to be drawn about the persons' field of vision and possible impairments or influences.
Crime and crime scene visualization
Special photographic processes are used to create photorealistic documentation of crime and incident scenes. This makes it possible to depict rooms in their entirety and thus visualize the location from different directions and angles. This form of representation can be supplemented by other forms of processing in order to open up new assessment possibilities by changing the brightness, the lighting situation and the depth of field.
Display size calculation
The image size calculation can be used to calculate the size of the person or detail shown in the photo or video, if this is required for the determination.
