3D-FORENSICS/FTI

3D-SCANNER AND DATA ANALYSIS FOR FORENSIC EVIDENCE

The mobile high-resolution 3D-Forensics/FTI scanner is designed for police investigators to record impression traces on the crime scene. The 3D-Scanner enables the recording, analysis, and comparison of footwear and tyre track impressions. Fast photo and recording of traces can be caught directly on the crime scene.

The 3D-Forensics Results

The laser scanner captures a 3D scene in a smaller field of view, approximately the size of a shoe sole, with a resolution better than 0.2 mm.
The resolution enables the visualization of tiny identifying marks, such as small scratches which can be used to match impressions to the suspect’s shoes.

3D ANALYSIS SOFTWARE

The 3D analysis software is used by the forensic identification experts in the laboratory or in the office. Once the data, captured with the 3D-Forensics/FTI scanner, are uploaded into the analysis software, they are prepared for the subsequent analysis phase. Different shading variants are calculated which are later used to emphasize marks in the 3D-data.
