Abstract This paper presents a case study which utilized many of the latest forensic technologies to reconstruct the events that occurred during an officer-involved shooting incident in which a police officer fatally shot a fellow police officer. The shooting reconstruction utilized 3-D high definition laser scanning, “matchmoving” police video footage from an infrared radar…
Abstract This paper discusses and evaluates the techniques and technology available to reconstruct shooting incidents. Reconstruction typically involves movement of the shooter(s), their gun(s), victim(s), vehicles, and possibly witnesses. The analysis involves shooting range tests, photogrammetry, 3-dimensional computer modeling, bullet and shell trajectory analysis, and a time/space computer animation analysis. The bullet trajectories are re-created…
Introduction This Paper presents methods use by Knott Laboratory to reconstruct a motor vehicle accident involved in a police shooting incident. The method developed by the engineers and presented in this paper involves a unique combination of three-dimensional computer modelling, coupled with photogrammetry, and a time/space computer animation analysis.
