3D laser scanning was used to rapidly document accident and crime scenes with a high level of precision, capturing large volumes of spatial data for later analysis.
This technology allowed for the creation of detailed virtual scenes that could be examined from multiple viewpoints. Data collected from scans supported line-of-sight analysis, vehicle positioning, and comparison with manufacturer CAD data for deformation evaluation. In some cases, the data could also support the development of animation to simulate the event.
3D scanning systems were used to produce complete and accurate recordings of scenes, ensuring that all relevant physical evidence and environmental details were preserved for reconstruction.
Scan data could be reviewed both on-site and in the office, and revisited at any time without loss of detail. This approach reduced the need to preserve physical scenes over extended periods while maintaining a reliable record for future analysis.
3D scene documentation allowed reconstruction work to be revisited repeatedly to evaluate witness statements, test hypotheses, and analyze factors such as line of sight, trajectory paths, and spatial relationships.
This technology enhanced the ability to perform accurate and repeatable analysis, supporting other reconstruction methods and investigative techniques.
Key capabilities included:
• Permanent, high-resolution 3D documentation of accident and crime scenes
• Accurate spatial analysis and scene reconstruction
• Virtual simulation and visualization of events
• Reliable data capture in low-light or no-light conditions
Work incorporated a range of industry-standard tools and software, including photogrammetry systems, crash simulation platforms, and CAD-based reconstruction programs used to analyze, model, and present findings.
