iWitness and iWitnessPRO Applications

iWitness is an integral part of accident reconstruction and forensic measurement work. Because of its ease-of-use and flexibility, iWitness is well suited to many other close-range photogrammetry applications.

  • Engineering measurement (e.g., reverse engineering modeling, structural deformation monitoring, plant facility documentation)
  • Architectural and archaeological measurement (e.g., heritage recording, computer reconstruction of historical buildings and artifacts),
  • Biomedical measurement
  • 3D documentation in support of virtual reality modeling.

Scroll through the below to review the diverse fields where iWitness is being used.



Accident Reconstruction
  • Reduce incident management time by utilizing an image-based measurement system

  • Measure images accurately from unknown cameras using iWitness' "FOOM"
  • Map accident scenes for creating 3D CAD diagrams

  • Create 3D models of vehicles and objects for court litigation

  • Measure distance and vehicle crush profiling to determine Equivalent Barrier Speed (EBS)

Forensics
  • Perform non-contact measurements of homicide scenes, evidence and bullet trajectories

  • Create 3D models of crime scenes

  • Archive crime scene evidence for analysis at a later date
  • Create rectified images from oblique images of planar surfaces (using XYRectify available in iWitnessPRO)


Architectural, and Archaeological Measurement
  • Heritage recording with photo-realistic texture modeling
  • Create 3D models and precise non-contact measurement of artifacts
  • Survey facilities for plant as-built and engineering modifications
  • Create section/elevation measurements for CAD drawings

  • Create 3D models for visualization and animation



Virtual Reality Modeling
  • Generate 3D photo-realistic models of existing objects for virtual reality modeling (VRML)
