Our Software
PIX4D
Geo-located photographs are obtained from the UAV and the RTK-GNSS mapped ground control points and processed in Pix4D software to create a scaled 3-Dimensional point cloud and a 2D orthomosaic image (think high definition Google Earth image) of the area mapped. A 2D orthomosaic image is generated from all the UAV images. This is a high-resolution photograph of the entire forensic mapping and allows a clear, top-down view of the crash scene.
This is a LiDAR iPhone scanner app that has the ability to accurately scan vehicles or other objects. The point cloud files generated by the iPhone application can be opened in software such as Cloud Compare to view the results of the scan. It is a structured, organized way of documenting a vehicle and the results allow the vehicles to be positioned graphically to represent their paths of travel prior to the crash, points of maximum engagement during the crash, and final rest locations.
These are software programs that allow UAV data, point clouds, or more traditional measurements of scenes to become a tangible scaled forensic diagram of crash related evidence and allows an electronic analysis of the data gathered. Having these three popular programs allows The Crash Lab to examine evidence collected by a variety of law enforcement agencies.
Axon Investigate allows us to review footage from third-party proprietary video
formats and provides immediate access to original metadata including date,
time, image numbers, etc.
