Crime Scene Investigation with 3D Laser Data

Today, the position of laser scanners in the mapping sector is undeniable. But thanks to advancing technology and new techniques, laser scanners are now being used successfully for different tasks. This is one of the “crime scene with a 3D point cloud recording” started to be used by police stations in Europe, this technique seems to become increasingly common.

So let’s take a quick look at how it has benefits.

Laser Scanners, which allow researchers to scan the scene in 3D, allow the entire scene to be accurately recorded in millimeters at the touch of a button, while allowing the crime scene to be opened for normal use in a very short time. Thanks to the 3D documentation obtained, the crime scene can be repeatedly visited virtually to verify witness statements or to evaluate hypotheses. Forensic specialists can accurately perform angle of view, bullet path, and spatter blood analysis in addition to other techniques, such as suspect estimation, from images obtained from video cameras.
