The Impact of 3D Scanning and Modeling on the Proces of Forensic Investigations

In the process of a full forensic investigation of an incident like a serious crime, many people with different backgrounds and expertise have to exchange informa-tion . There are many different stages in this process that starts with the detection of a crime by witnesses, and ends with a presentation of all investigation results

in a court. Tradionally, all information is exchanged using documents, while crime scenes are cap-tured and visualized with photographs. Modern technology offers much more ways to collect and exchange information. Panoramic image scanners, laserscanners, 3d-modeling techniques and inter-active multimedia presentations are introduced and are changing the information flow in the process of a forensic investigation. Many of these changes are welcome but there are also a number of pitfalls that need attention.

In this presentation an overview is given of the new possibilities and pitfalls of new technology, like laserscanning and augmented reality, in the flow of information in a full forensic investigation. The au-dience will get an understanding of the process of a forensic investigation and what is needed for the introduction of new technology for reconstruction and visualization in this process. Case examples are provided when appropriate.

Laser scanning for 3d documentation, Plant design and turn-Arounds

Drawing from case studies from a number of customers such as BASF AG, Bayer AG, BP AG, DOW, DuPont, E.ON AG, Evonik Industries, INEOS Deutschland GmbH, Johnson & Johnson, Kronos Titan GmbH, LyondellBasell Industries, Procter & Gamble Deutschland, Shell Deutschland Oil, Vat-tenfall Europe AG, VW AG, and Wacker Chemieaser – the presentation will describe applications of laser scanning as a tool during the engineering phase as well as for preparation of turnaround. The deep integration of 3D scanning in the engineering/ planning process will be also be demonstrated, including challenges such as….

Challenges in turn-around / shut-down:

• Assembly / Disassembly of large and or heavy equipment (e.g. replacement of a 200t extruder in a tight building)

• One-to-one replacement of an annular pipe (16”, 27m diameter) in a biotech reactor without assembly welds

• One-to-one replacement of a column in shortest shut down period (checking “As built “ drawings and pre-fabricated column)

In 3D engineering:

• 3D Virtual Reality for planning and model review

• Scan as interfering edge for 3D modeling

• Comparison 3D model with As built

• Scanning for damage appraisal / mechanical abrasive in equipment or pipes

Ralph Schildwächter, Schildwächter Engineering, and Oliver Bringman, General Manager, kubit

Piping the Point cloud – evaluating Point cloud data for Industrial Facilities

In “Brown Field” situations we are challenged to model whole pipe run systems or only determine accurate tie-in points. Modeling is not only neces-sary for clash detection or visualization purposes, but also for representation of as build data in 3D plant design software. This software is usually not prepared to handle real world data: design software has strong assumptions like coaxiality, coplanarity or orthogonality. In any case only standard objects from catalogs are allowed. Ralph Schildwächter will show a case study on an efficient approach called “Walk The Run” which endeavors to satisfy both needs: accurate as-build data and fulfill-ment of semantical, geometrical and topological constraints. The catalog driven principle allows the user-controlled pattern recognition and leaves room for the creation of own fittings patterns. buILdING APPLIcAtIoNs

bIM and Terrestrial laser Scanning for Automated construction Progress control

Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) enables the acqui-sition the 3D as-built state of construction projects at any given time . In the last decade, the technol-ogy has undergone significant developments so that it is everyday more accurate, faster and cheaper . However more beautiful the scans are, they remain all but point clouds . In order to extract useful information from these (reverse engineer-ing), software companies have been working hard to provide simply, efficient and reliable tools . But these tend to focus on the cases where no prior information on the sceneries is available .

Simultaneously to TLS, the last decade has seen significant development in Building Information Modelling (BIM) . BIM, with at its heart 3D model-ling, can be seen as containing nD as-designed information about construction projects . This information can be seen as prior knowledge about the projects being scanned, so that, when available, they can be used to significantly ease the analysis of TLS data and further .

This paper will present results on an academic project that has been running for several years aiming at quasi-automatically recognizing BIM elements in TLS data . The recognition results are subsequently used to automatically estimate progress, and adjust schedule . Further applications are also possible .

bIM and the Historical Sector

This paper will look at how Building Information Modelling (BIM) interacts with the Historical Sector .

BIM offers more than documentation of 2D plans, sections and elevations . BIM is 3D spatially coordinated information database that has inherent intelligence enabling it to be used for more than one purpose . BIM links to other databases for facility and asset management and has impres-sive visualisation capabilities . It utilises data from several sources including point clouds .

The technology within BIM is growing at a steady rate and point cloud data is now starting to be recognised for its true worth rather than being a set

of 3D points to create unintelligent models .

This paper will also discuss the advances made within the ‘photo stitching’ arena and the use of HD images . Processing of these images takes advantage of the latest computer aided techniques and is often done ‘in the cloud’ .

The use of BIM is not just limited to producing an intelligent 3D model of a Historical Building . It can be extended to assess a buildings impact on the environment and estimate the impact of changes within the building fabric such as a change in heat-ing strategy .

This presentation will be about turning a standard Leica HDS6000, 6100, 6200, 7000 or Z+F Imager 5006, 5010 scanner into a portable scanning device . It is as simple as it can be: Carry your scan-ner while walking through tunnels, houses, along streets up and down a stairway and get a fully reg-istered point cloud shortly after finishing your scan . The accuracy of several georeferencing options eg . using an Inertial Measurement Unit, an additional GPS sensor, or any Leica Total Station will be compared . Several examples of use will be shown where high resolution point clouds are acquired at high speed and with the flexibility of a mobile map-ping system . The presentation will be followed by demonstration outside the World Forum .

Architecture laser Scanning case Studies: Danish National bank, and Svannemølle bar-racks (landmark buildings)

case Study #1: The purpose of the scanning is to detect deformations of the banks façade . The façade of the bank is made out of natural stone . The natural stone has deformed over time, which means that some of the façade stones have to be replaced with new ones . Previously the deformation

of each stone was determined with a spirit leveller and a micrometer and the inspection of the facade demanded use of a lift or scaffolding, which is very time consuming . By the use of laser scanning we sought to introduce a faster, cheaper and safer method for checking for deformations . The laser scanner detects the deformations of each natural stone according to a defined plane (the plane is used because it is assumed that the stones when originally placed were near to plane) . The result is a map of the wall that shows the deformation of each stone . This method detects danger areas, as the stones can fall from the wall and in worst case hurt or kill people along the building . The scanning ensured that this do not happen .

case Study #2: The purpose of the scanning was to do an as-built scanning of Svannemølle barracks and provide the basis for detail drawings of the buildings . In connection with the construction of a cut and cover tunnel, the landmark buildings on Svannemølle (“Swan Mill” in English) barracks had to be demolished and later rebuilt . Since there were limited drawings of buildings, it was decided that four of the buildings had to be laser scanned . Detail drawings could then be made based on laser scans to ensure that the buildings could be built again after the tunnel was done . The buildings was laser scanned and for each scan position a 360 degrees panorama picture was taken, which later was com-bined with the scans to make the scanning photo realistic . NetView was used as the project database for the entire project team .

3D laser Scanning in Structural Testing

The new generation of 3D laser scanners have been widely adopted especially in architecture and in survey activities . This paper presents an experi-mentation, made by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Bergamo, in cooperation with FARO Europe GmbH & Co, aiming to test new ap-plications of 3D laser scanning in other engineering and construction fields . The paper, through the presentation of some case-studies, shows the suit-ability of 3D-laser scanners as an aid in structural testing in order to assess the dimensions of the specimen, the absolute position of the measure-ment instruments or in substitution of traditional instrumentation devices . In particular the 3D-laser scanner was used in a three-points bending test on a glulam beam to measure the geometry of the test setup, to assess the specimen deformation at the supports and to compare the deflection values obtained with a traditional linear displacement transducer . The 3D-laser scanner was also used to define the geometry and sensors position during shear tests on masonry specimens and to assess its sensitivity in evaluating the elongation of steel rods, used in masonry buildings as a retrofitting strategy against seismic loads .

Progress in Mobile laser Scanning

Mobile laser scanning has evolved over the past few years from a rather unorthodox niche ap-plication of laser scanning applied in just a few projects to an established main stream surveying technology . As mobile laser scanning systems are complex including at least laser scanners, inertial measurement units, global navigation satellite systems, data recording equipment and software for data processing, system calibration, and quality control, the progress in each of these subsystems has propelled the development and the achievable overall accuracies . In particular we will address the state-of-the-art in laser scanner technology with the beneficial high measurement rates, multiple-target-return capability, highly accurate low noise data, the calibrated amplitude and reflectance readings all based on echo signal digitization and online waveform processing . We will discuss exem-plary system specifications and workflows and we will give some recent examples of applications for mobile laser scanning technology .

case Study of a large-Scale, Automated Mobile liDAR Project

The California Department of Transportation

(Caltrans) needed to conduct a survey of overhead bridge clearance measurements for the purpose of updating the National Bridge Inventory, overhead clearance signs and routing of permit loads within the state . With over 7,200 overhead bridge spans statewide, Caltrans conducted a pilot project using the StreetMapper mobile mapping system operated by Terrametrix to test the benefits of a mobile map-ping system . The state wanted accurate results with little to no disruption to highway traffic . The StreetMapper solution enabled safe, large-scale use of laser mapping by eliminating manual inefficiencies and reducing the chance for error . However, processing 800 miles of high-quality, survey-controlled LiDAR and 600 bridges of varying types presented processing challenges on the back end . Mobile systems are creating a mountain of data that is difficult to process . A week of data collection can take months to process . Terrame-trix chose to use Allpoint System’s Perception Engine™ to automatically batch process the direc-tories of 3D data . Allpoint’s system uses a hybrid of software tools that mix automation (for time consuming repetitive tasks) with streamlined user interaction (for efficient high level decision making) to reduce processing time to days or weeks . This presentation will describe the methods, tools and results of the combined use of TMLS survey data collection and innovative automated extraction tools and will discuss the range of other applications and features made possible with an automated processing platform .

Mr . DiGiacobbe will guide attendees through two recent HNTB LiDAR projects, each fraught with new complex challenges nearly unsolvable without the advanced use of LiDAR technology:

1 . A 36 mile new monorail design and construction project in Hawaii|

2 . A 25 mile CalTrans Highway 405 road design




and lane widening project

Throughout both projects the use of LiDAR was foundational and HNTB developed optimized work-flows and methods for:

1 . Achieving control point accuracy and matching in an area near a Pear Harbor military base with very complex GPS interference challenges

2 . Additionally solving challenges attributable to Hawaii’s coordinate system and its tidal correction systems

3 . Merging multiple area scans from multiple LiDAR collectors with compounded problems due to these GPS and coordinate system anomalies

4 . Developing ongoing implementation of scan-ning and processing systems for easy repeatable change detection processes to aid the ongoing construction efforts

5 . Developing processes for very fast turnaround where multiple area scans are executed daily in a live construction area with very high traffic on highly opportunistic scanning schedules that must be followed by processing, merging and deliverable cycles within 24 to 48 hours

This session is exciting and insightful for attendees due to both the complexities illustrated and the use of live software demonstration of the solutions in real time .

Railway Scanning Proof-of-concept

A railway section near the Austrian-Hungarian border served as test site for a proof-of-concept project employing state-of-the-art mobile laser scanning equipment in conjunction with dedicated software for extraction of security-relevant features for railway operators . To this end, the RIEGL VMX-250 was placed at the rear of a flatcar pulled by a diesel-engine locomotive, granting free 360° field-of-view for the two integrated VQ-250 profile scanners to measure rails, signals and overhead cables . The integrated modular VMX-250-CS6 camera system was equipped with four 5-megapix-el cameras to collect calibrated images . Data was acquired at three different speeds in both driving directions to evaluate the required point densities

for feature extraction . After a relative adjustment improving the matching of the scan records, the entire dataset was registered to natural targets along the track having been surveyed convention-ally for providing ground control . Applying specific software for railroad feature extraction to the geo-referenced colored point cloud, the railheads defining the local railtrack coordinate system were extracted . The derived axis of the track served as reference path for measuring distances to signals, lamp posts, and platform edges . A clearance profile along the axis was used to detect any safety issues due to intruding objects .

3D visualization from High-Density liDAR corridor Mapping for the Railway Industry

Traditionally, 3D point-cloud data derived from cor-ridor surveys have been used to document assets, measure distances between objects within the point cloud and monitor vegetation growth . Increas-ingly, more and more railway companies require critical track quality data for the maintenance of existing rail tracks, as well as for the construction of new lines . The planning and construction of new electrification lines is a time consuming process, one that brings bureaucratic hurdles when plan al-ternatives come under the scrutiny of city officials, environmental agencies and the general public . Such is the case with a leading railway company in the United Kingdom .

The goal of the client was to capture the existing environment using high density helicopter based airborne LiDAR survey and simultaneously obtain-ing high resolution forward and downward photo imagery to map railway assets in 3D CAD format . This data was to form the foundation for the model-ing of four train station areas and the integration of 3D plan data to evaluate all plan variants for each area . For this project, airborne LiDAR came to the rescue, provided by Fugro Aerial Mapping with headquarters in The Netherlands .

The high point density (60 points per m2) with an height accuracy of better than 3cm 1 sigma stan-dard deviation delivered by the FLI-MAP system, enabled Fugro Aerial Mapping to map all assets along corridors like railway tracks, railway stations, vegetation as well as the height of existing build-

ings, etc . Because the corridors flown will receive electrification for the first time, it was critical that these assets be captured accurately; without ac-curate LiDAR data to complete the 2D mapping, 3D modeling would not have the desired impact when shared with project stakeholders .

This paper will examine the technology issues associated with accurate LiDAR capture of railway corridors as well as the challenges involved in cre-ating an accurate 3D model from the survey data .

Two Routes for Data: the Rosslyn chapel Project

Constructed between 1440 and 1486, Rosslyn Chapel has had a difficult history . It has suffered vandalism and neglect during the Protestant Reformation, used as a stable for Oliver Cromwell’s horses during the English Civil War, unsympa-thetically renovated during the 1800’s and nearly blown-up in 1914 . More recently, the visitation to the Chapel has risen from approximately 10,000 a year to 150,000 since the release of Dan Brown’s novel The Da Vinci Code .

An extensive conservation programme is currently underway . As part of an ongoing research partner-ship, Historic Scotland and Glasgow School of Art systematically digitally documented the interior and exterior of the building and grounds .

Initially, the purpose of the project was to imple-ment a full 3D terrestrial laser survey of the existing structure to document it’s current physical condi-tion and to help guide ongoing conservation tech-niques . Of particular concern was the structural integrity of the main vault during the replacement of the existing roof . By thoroughly scanning the building and grounds, the data then served another role - to be used in the new interpretive centre to visually explain the construction of the building as well as the story behind the mythic sculptures .

characterization of complex Geometries by the Integration of Different Techniques: Results obtained in Different caves of the cantabrian coast

Natural caves are an important part of the natural heritage of each country, an excellent tourist resort and living laboratory for understanding their behaviour . Caves cartography often does not match each other because of the different reliability of the methods used and its complexity .

Having a precise and rigorous cartographic base of cavities facilitates the creation of projects to improve access, the location of witnesses used for the monitoring of parameters such as temperature, humidity, gas concentration, atmosphere models or lighting calculations, in order to be less aggres-sive with the environment, specially in those caves which have rupestrian art .

The integration of traditional geomatics tools with more recent like 3D terrestrial laser scanners or short range scanners, allows to make a quick, accurate and reliable registry of such complex elements in order to create a comprehensive documentation covering everything from flat ground, contour, longitudinal and transverse cross sections, dimensional analysis and calculation of heights or thickness of galleries and even virtual reality systems .

Knowledge-based Approach for 3D objects Detection in Point clouds

The reconstruction of 3D objects from 3D point clouds is a major task in many application fields . The processing of such spatial data, as might be collected by terrestrial laser scanner, for example, generally consumes time and requires extensive interaction between a human and machine to yield a promising result . Presently, algorithms for an automatic processing are usually data-driven and




concentrate on geometric feature extraction . Robust and quick methods for complete object extraction or identification are still an ongoing research topic and suffer from the complex structure of the data, which cannot be sufficiently modeled by purely numerical strategies . Therefore, the intention of a new ap-proach is to take human cognitive strategy as an example, and to simulate these processes based on available knowledge for the objects of interest, the 3D algorithms, the geometries, the laser scanner parameters . . . Such processes will first, introduce a semantic structure for the objects, geometry, algo-rithms, topology . . . and second, guide the algorithms used to detect and recognize objects, which will yield a higher effectiveness

3D Terrestrial laser Scanning of beaches: The Pearl, Qatar

The Pearl is a reclaimed island in Qatar . Ten of the beaches at The Pearl have been selected for geo-morphological studies . All 10 beaches have been scanned using a terrestrial laser scanner - Leica HDS4500 scanner, after the scanning an external digital camera with fisheye lens was mounted and eight photos were captured for creating 360° panorama photos . All scans setups have been

geo-referenced in Qatar National grid using targets surveyed by RTK-GPS . In the sea up to level -2 m, additional spot heights have been surveyed by RTK-GPS . All data, both laser scan and RTK-GPS data, have subsequently been imported to the software Inroads for creating a digital terrain model (DTM) . The first survey of the 10 beaches was done in 2009 as a reference . The survey was repeated again in 2011 . From the DTMs, drawings showing contours and predefined longitudinal profiles were created . From the 2009 and 2011 dataset, also differential models showing cut and fill values were created . This output shows erosion of the beaches and settlements used for geomorphological analy-sis . Further Truview solutions for all the beaches have been created, showing the point cloud and 360° panoramic photos .

Three-Dimensional visualisation and Inter-pretation of large Datasets

BGS possesses a wealth of spatially-related digital data such as high resolution terrain models, national aerial photography and satellite imagery, geological maps and 3D models . BGS, as a national Geological Survey is under constant fiscal pressure from government and stakeholders to produce mapping output with fewer resources . To this end GeoVisionary visualisation software has been devel-oped allowing for the visualisation and interpreta-tion of large spatial datasets prior to fieldwork .

GeoVisionary is a fully immersive three dimensional stereo visualisation system developed by BGS and Virtalis Ltd . Aerial photography is draped over elevation data from the NEXTMap Britain dataset for the landmass of Great Britain, this can then be quickly and efficiently viewed from any angle in 3D perspective, including viewing the subsurface . Geological models, cross sections and borehole information can be hung under the terrain surface while raster data, such as topographical and geo-logical maps and remotely sensed imagery can be draped over the top . GIS functionality allows layers to be turned on and off, queried and displayed with varying levels of transparency further facilitating data integration .

Mapping teams now have the opportunity to virtually visit their field area before field work com-mences . They are able to integrate, interpret and

interact with all existing data and develop geologi-cal ideas as a team in the office, allowing fieldwork to be targeted to answer issues that arise . Tools developed within GeoVisionary allow a dynamic link to ArcGIS allowing the dynamic visualisation of line-work, both in GeoVisionary and in ArcGIS, as it is digitised in either system .

Forensic 3D Modelisation and Quality Assurance

The Signal Image Voice department of the forensic institute of the French Gendarmerie has two laser scanners, enabling to perform the 3D modelisation of a crime or accident scene . This technique allows experts to quickly freeze the scene in the state it was discovered . But it also represents an expertize tool for the laboratory in ballistic trajectory, blood pattern and accident analysis .

IRCGN is engaged in a wide quality assurance process since 2003 for a certification according to ISO 17025 . The first laboratory test methods were accredited in June 2007 . The activity of three-dimensional modelling of crime scene has to respond, like other laboratory testing methods, the requirements of the standard 17025 .

This presentation will discuss about the mission “3D modelisation of crime scene” in terms of qual-ity assurance . It will start by a global presentation of the test method itself, then the accreditation process, and the observations and corrective ac-tions have been undertaken to satisfy the require-ments of the French Committee of Accreditation (COFRAC) .
