SYSTEM AND METHOD OF IMAGING EVIDENCE AT A SCENE

Abstract:

A system and method for documenting a scene having evidence markers is provided. The method includes placing the evidence markers in the scene. A plurality of 3D coordinates of points are measured on surfaces in the environment, a first portion of the plurality of 3D coordinates being on a first evidence marker of the evidence markers, the evidence marker having a photogrammetric symbol on one surface. A point cloud is generated from the plurality of 3D coordinates. The first evidence marker in the point cloud based is automatically identified at least in part on the photogrammetric symbol. The location and at least one attribute of the evidence marker are stored.
