3-D Surface Documentation in Forensic Pathology
Author(s): Anna Wilson* and Sophie Richards
Close range photogrammetry and optical surface scanning are two three-dimensional surface technologies that have recently developed into methods that are less expensive, more adaptable, and more accurate. However, the daily practice of forensic postmortem investigation has not yet fully tapped into their potential. In the current study, we compared the performance of stereophotogrammetry-based Vectra H11, a portable handheld surface scanner, and digital camera-based photogrammetry integrated with commercial Agisoft PhotoScan1 software. Three human subjects were chosen for the study: a 25-year-old woman who was still alive, two 63-year-old male forensic cases who had been admitted for postmortem examination at the Department of Forensic Medicine in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, one of whom had died from traumatic, self-inflicted injuries (suicide by hanging), and the ot..
