Terrestrial Laser Scanning

Capture millions of precise spatial measurements from accident scenes, crime scenes, buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure to support analysis, measurements, modeling, and forensic animation.

Interactive 3D Models

Explore reconstructed scenes from multiple viewpoints through interactive models that clarify evidence, spatial relationships, investigations, mediations, and courtroom proceedings.

Drone Imagery

Use UAV imagery to document large or complex scenes and create accurate 3D models while preserving important evidence for analysis and courtroom presentation.

Photogrammetry

Extract three-dimensional measurements from photographs, videos, surveillance footage, dashcam recordings, and images of physical evidence such as vehicle damage or skid marks.

Forensic Animation

Translate expert analysis and physical evidence into scientifically accurate animations that make accidents, incidents, failures, and other complex events easier to understand.

Expert Witness Support

Provide technical visualization expertise and testimony concerning forensic animation, laser scanning, photogrammetry, methodologies, and visual reconstructions used during litigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 3D laser scanning used for in forensic investigations?

Terrestrial 3D laser scanning captures millions of precise spatial measurements from physical environments. In forensic work, the resulting point cloud can document accident scenes, crime scenes, buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure. The data supports accurate measurements, scene analysis, 3D modeling, and forensic animation while preserving spatial relationships that may be difficult to communicate through photographs alone.
