Area of Science:

Forensic Science
Digital Imaging
Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

Documentation of forensics-relevant injuries is crucial for reconstruction.
Traditional 2-D methods have limitations in capturing detailed injury information.

Observation:

A soft-tissue facial injury caused by a car tire was analyzed.
Objects were photographed in series for evaluation in virtual space.

Findings:

Forensic CAD-supported photogrammetry generated precise 3-D data models of the injury and tire tread.
The 3-D models showed a perfect match between the tire tread and the facial injury.

Implications:

3-D photogrammetry offers superior accuracy for injury reconstruction compared to 2-D methods.
