The objective of forensic methods is to obtain results with a measurement quality relevant (e.g., consistent, reliable and accurate) for the criminal justice system. This means that during the introduction or implementation of new forensic methods/technologies a specific step must be taken to prove in an objective way that the method is suitable for its intended use.
It is proposed to develop a CWA on ‘Best practices for the accurate position of visible and invisible traces/evidence in digital replicas of crime scenes for investigation and training purposes’ due to the following reasons:
- To bring together forensic experts and academia from different nations to collaborate on strategies to provide a baseline framework for representative positioning of traces in the crime scene for accurate visualization.
- Share experiences and requirements related to trace positioning.
- Collect and assess technical solutions (and their accuracy) for trace management.
- Prioritize needs related to trace positioning.
- Define positioning accuracy requirements for different types of traces.
- Define visualization accuracy requirements for different types of traces and crime scenes.
The planned Workshop is applicable to/is intended to be used by crime scene investigators, forensics analytics and experts in digitalised crime scene documentation.
The planned Workshop does not apply to/is not intended to be used by professionals not trained in forensics investigation and documentation.
The kick-off meeting will be held on Thursday, 14 March 2024, from 15:00 to 16:15 EST in Athens, Greece.
Requests to participate in the Workshop and/or comments on the project plan are to be submitted by 10 March 2024 to yusuf.yilmaz@din.de. You are kindly requested to use the commenting form below.
