<title>Using videogrammetry and 3D image reconstruction to identify crime suspects</title>

Abstract

The anthropometry and movements are unique for every individual human being. We identify persons we know by recognising the way they look and move. By quantifying these measures and using image processing methods this method can serve as a tool in the work of the police as a complement to

Variability of bodily measures of normally dressed people using PhotoModeler Pro

“…If more pictures from the crime scene are available it would be possible to measure several poses and use the mean like proposed by others [3,11]. Then it would be expected that the mdif for the measurement error for segment lengths and heights will approach zero as they did in this study (see section 2.6.2) all the segment lengths presented here might be usable.…”

Obtaining confidence intervals and Likelihood Ratios for body height estimations in images

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6]. At the Netherlands Forensic Institute, the approach is by performing a reconstruction at the scene of crime.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6]. In [7], the situation is considered of images from separate crime scenes that may or may not contain the same perpetrator.…”

Night-time surveillance system for forensic 3D mapping

“…It is difficult to obtain accurate mapping of the crime suspect using a single image, and consequently, the use of intricate mathematics is essential [18,11,17,10,3]. A number of assumptions and approximations must be applied in order to produce a useful 2D map.…”
