Application 3D forensic science in a criminal investigation

Abstract

This manuscript discusses the modern approach and application of 3D digital imaging in forensic science. It presents the basic principles and approaches of 3D modeling methods. Selected methods of image capture and its subsequent processing into a 3D model are applied to a specific object. This object is captured by a mobile phone camera, a LiDar sensor, and a 3D scanner for further image processing for different desired image outputs. The text describes the photogrammetry method, the workflow with the LiDar sensor, and the 3D model of the object intended for 3D printing. The paper discusses the potential of the selected methods and their application in forensic sciences.
