FINDER: Forensic Identification via Non-Destructive Evidence Retrieval

Smytec公司创造了一种突破性的法医成像技术，消除了老式指纹检索方法的需要，取而代之的是高科技解决方案。Smytec的目标是将指纹证据检索技术带入21世纪：FINDER。在犯罪现场，犯罪现场调查人员必须首先寻找“看不见的”指纹证据，使用粉末等技术增强发现的任何潜在指纹，用一种粘接升降机恢复，储存并运送到实验室。然后，必须对恢复的指纹进行数字成像，以与数据库中的已知指纹进行比较。在现场，9-10个步骤的连续过程可能会很辛苦，使指纹恢复缓慢且重复。使用破坏性方法，CSI的任何微小错误都可能破坏证据并使其无法恢复。FINDER将这一过程简化为两步：在现场搜索指纹，找到指纹后恢复指纹，只需点击一个按钮，无需任何接触。这不仅可以将场景恢复从几小时缩短到几分钟；它还减少了潜在的人为错误，减少了csi在每个现场所需的耗材数量——内政部推荐了50多种指纹方法，其中大多数只适用于单一表面类型。FINDER可用于多种表面，包括各种金属，塑料，玻璃和纸张。最重要的是，指纹检索的质量得到了提高，FINDER的性能比指纹粉末技术高出近50%。由于非接触式非破坏性，FINDER也适用于安全和防御，是秘密行动小组指纹恢复的独特工具。目前，指纹粉对于特种部队来说太过杂乱和技术化，不仅应用缓慢，而且需要漫长的清理过程。使用FINDER，团队可以在几分钟内进出，不留痕迹，并在此过程中恢复识别证据。FINDER还可以从爆炸后的碎片和碎片中恢复指纹。指纹被认为在炸弹爆炸中会被破坏，所以DNA分析是优先考虑的，目前的指纹技术成功率非常低，只有2%。根据FBI的测试，FINDER从爆炸后的碎片和碎片中成功提取指纹的成功率为64%。不再需要依赖易于转移的DNA；指纹现在可以用来识别炸弹嫌疑人以及任何参与此类暴行的个人网络。

Smytec Ltd has created a ground-breaking Forensic Imaging technology, removing the need for old fashioned fingerprint retrieval methods and replacing these with a high-tech solution. Smytec aims to bring fingerprint evidence retrieval into the 21st Century with its technology: FINDER.At crime scenes, CSIs must first search for "invisible" fingerprint evidence, enhance any potential fingerprints found using techniques such as powdering, recover with a form of adhesive lift, store and transport them to the lab. The recovered lifts must then be digitally imaged to compare to known fingerprints in a database. At the scene the sequential process of 9-10 steps can be painstaking, making fingerprint recovery slow and repetitive. Using destructive methods, any tiny error by a CSI can destroy evidence and make it unrecoverable. FINDER cuts this sequence down to two steps: search the scene for fingerprints and when found recover them, all at the click of a button, without any contact. This not only speeds up scene recovery from potentially hours to minutes; it also reduces potential human error and reduces the number of consumables required for CSIs to take to every scene -- with over 50 fingerprint methods recommended by the Home Office the majority only applicable to be used on a single surface type. FINDER can be used on many surfaces, including various metals, plastics, glass and paper. On top of this, the quality of fingerprints retrieved is improved, with FINDER outperforming fingerprint powdering techniques by almost 50%.Due to being non-contact-non-destructive, FINDER is also applicable for Security and Defence, being a unique tool for fingerprint recovery for covert operations teams. Currently fingerprint powders are too messy and technical for Special Ops teams to use, not only being slow in application, but requiring a lengthy clean-up process. With FINDER teams can be in and out in minutes, without a trace, and with identification evidence recovered in the process.FINDER can also recover fingerprints from post-blast fragments and debris. Fingerprints are believed to be destroyed during bomb blasts, so DNA analysis is prioritised, with current fingerprint techniques having very poor success rates of 2%. From testing performed with the FBI, FINDER has a success rate of 64% in successfully retrieving fingerprints from post-blast fragments and debris. No longer does easily transferred DNA need to be relied on; fingerprints can now be retrieved to identify the suspect bomber and also any network of individuals involved in such atrocities.
