The use of Digital Scanning Tools for Characterisation of Crime Scenes

该项目的目的是严格评估该技术在法医背景下扫描复杂场景的适用性，以确保产出和证据的可靠性。这从调查过程一直延伸到在法庭上的陈述。犯罪现场特别复杂，有多种证据来源，包括血迹、脚印、DNA和指纹。所有这些信息都需要单独记录和记录，并放置在收集信息的场景背景中。由于需要记录大量的信息，这可能是一个巨大的挑战。数字工具是支持这一过程的理想机会，该项目将与警察和法医犯罪现场调查员（CSI）合作，使用案例研究方法。本项目符合以下EPSCR研究领域：图形和可视化，传感器和仪器仪表，视觉，听觉和其他感官。

The aim of this project is to rigorously assess the suitability of the technology for scanning complex scenes in a Forensic context to ensure the reliability of outputs and evidence produced. This extends from the investigation process through to presentation at court. Crime scenes are particularly complex with multiple sources of evidence including Blood Spatter, Footprints, DNA and fingerprints. This information all needs to be individually recorded and documented and placed in the context of the scene from where it was collected. This can be a huge challenge with the high volume of information needed to be recorded. Digital tools represent an ideal opportunity to support this process and this project will use a case study approach in partnership with the Police and Forensics Crime Scene Investigators (CSI).This project fits with the following EPSCR research areas; Graphics and Visualisation, Sensors and Instrumentation, Vision, hearing and other sense.
