This project is aimed at testing the performance of 3D optical acquisition and reverse engineering to carry out the contact-less gauging of crime scenes for their documentation and analysis. In particular, the study focuses on two aspects. The former is the “in-field” measurement and modeling of crime scenes.
The activity carried out by the Laboratory staff deals with a number of significant cases. A comprehensive summary of the experiences is in the references below.
