ABSTRACT

For large objects the optical coordinates measuring system TRITOP is applied at all times. Sometimes 50 to 100 images are taken and automatically computed by the software while photographing. They are scanned with the ATOS III with a measurement volume of 1.5 × 1.5 × 1.5 m. If more details are required the smaller volume of 500 × 500 × 500 mm is used. Vehicles are scanned outside and inside, depending on the needs of the case. In passenger accidents, where a person is run or rolled over, the underbody of the vehicle and the tires have also to be digitized (Figure C5.1.3).
