Forensics

Must-have forensics solutions

Quick, accurate aerial and scene investigations and analysis

Complete range of forensic solutions

Whether your incident is contained within a single room or spread over a large outdoor area, we can work with you to meet your forensics data collection needs.

Easy Workflow

With our forensic workflow, you can work without distraction. It enhances and complements established procedures without compromising integrity. You can easily export data to specialist, third-party packages where necessary.

Fast and Accurate

Want to reduce your time at forensic scenes? You can quickly set up and operate our systems, so you can collect all the data and swiftly leave the scene.

Fully Integrated Data

Our forensic solutions completely integrate and coordinate data, independent of file size. Whether you’re using an unmanned aircraft to collect data or capturing a few ground-based points, our solutions integrate seamlessly to provide you with usable data sets.

Unmanned Aerial Data Collection

Our solutions enable you to create detailed aerial maps of accidents and/or crime scenes without using traditional Ground Control Points (GCPs). Our Sirius Pro fixed-wing drone delivers highly accurate aerial maps quickly, easily and affordably. You can define the area, altitude and photo intervals. The Sirius Pro enables you to quickly create DEMs and orthophotos; and analyze measurements, plot changes over time, and create fly-throughs of forensic scenes. You can rely on our automated technology to deliver the results you need quickly, accurately, and professionally.

EASILY UPGRADEABLE

The Sirius UAV is available in both entry-level and advanced versions, so you can immediately engage with the full GNSS RTK capability or upgrade over time. Speed of operation is one of the key benefits of the advanced version, as it does not require the use of manually located Ground Control Points.

FLEXIBILITY

For complete flexibility when using the advanced Sirius Pro, you can choose between RTK corrections from a local, on-site GNSS base station or use any broadcast regional GNSS network connection service.

Easy to Get Started

Create your flight plan

Select your area of interest in the MAVinci flight-planning software, and set the required resolution. Flight plans are automatically calculated and transferred to the aircraft.

Acquire data with Topcon Sirius aircraft

After launching, the UAV will automatically follow the programmed flight plan, acquiring hi-res imagery and highly accurate RTK coordinates. You can have the plane automatically land on the launch point or manually land with autopilot assistance.

Process data in MAVinci software

You can track the aircraft and its parameters in the field in the MAVinci desktop software. After the aircraft lands, the images and coordinate data will be combined in the software using photogrammetric modeling. The resulting photorealistic 3D model comes complete with topographic data, which can be used for any 3D application.

Fast, reliable evidence gathering

Laser scanning is ideal for collecting large amounts of complex data often found in forensic scenes. The ability to quickly and accurately capture every piece of evidence gives forensic investigators the confidence to cover every aspect of a scene. Using the scanner’s dual onboard color cameras, you can colorize the data to produce photorealistic, 3D point clouds. These can be used to produce orthophotos or to measure and analyze the data.

There is no need to limit the data-collection area of your scene because our laser scanners are both high-speed and long-range. The scanners can accommodate different range requirements based on your target application, and the graphical user interface simplifies data collection. You don’t need to set out targets or carry out complicated setups as the scanner’s software will automatically align your scans based on shape-matching within the scene.

Intuitive Data Flow

Preview data on the scanner before leaving the scene to ensure you have captured all the information. You can easily transfer the captured data to a computer for quick processing by the ScanMaster software. Exporting clouds or objects is simple as the data format is compatible with today’s most widely used third-party software. This makes quick work out of forensic analysis such as bullet trajectory or accident reconstruction.

Most Complete, Most Accurate Data Capture

Customizable scan-resolution defaults and the dual 5MP color digital cameras ensure that no detail goes uncaptured. After the data is processed, you can export the file into a broad selection of formats, including our .cl3 format, which supports the most popular design, analysis, and modeling applications.

Easy to Get Started

Identify the data to be collected

Choose the best settings for your scene using the scanner’s graphical user interface.

Scan your scene

Place our scanner on a tripod; switch it on, and start scanning. Because our scanners operate at ultra-high speed, you will not spend unnecessary time at a scene. The built-in color cameras capture your scene at each scan position. You will not waste time placing targets as they are not needed for scan matching during later processing.

Process

WIth our ScanMaster software, all your scans will be automatically aligned using the unique shapes detected in each scan. The resulting 3D data is photorealistic.

Hybrid Data Collection

When you are collecting data outdoors, buildings and land topography can interfere with your line of sight. Once you’ve identified the data required at an outdoor scene, you need a flexible, high-speed solution to capture forensic evidence accurately, despite the obstacles. Using a total station would require repositioning at different locations. Our Hybrid Solution eliminates this problem by allowing you to easily switch from line-of-sight optical measurements to GNSS measurements and back, as appropriate.

Rapid Uninterrupted Workflow

You need to quickly and easily collect data at a forensic scene without worrying about technology. Our Hybrid Positioning gives you the freedom and confidence to tackle any outdoor scene, such as a car, train, or plane crash. Our advanced robotic tracking will lock onto your prism and automatically track you as you investigate the scene. If your view of the robotic instrument is blocked, you can seamlessly switch to GNSS collection with no interruption to the data collection.

Visible Evidence

Throughout the forensic investigation and data-collection process, your data is visible on a choice of powerful field controllers using our MAGNET Field software. This process works seamlessly in the most demanding situations, enhancing your productivity in the field.

Easy to Get Started

Set up your robotic instrument on site

Your Topcon robotic or imaging total station communicates with the 360˚ prism. When the line of sight is interrupted, the GNSS receiver ensures that the system will rapidly reconnect.
