Project Description
Fingerprint Imaging Accessory
An innovative new accessory for use with the Crime-lite Imager and DCS fingerprint Imaging systems, the Cylindrical Surface Un-wrapper (CSU) enable the forensic examiner to extract 2D images of fingerprints from a 3D cylindrical surface.
CSU
‘Un-wrap’ 2D images of fingerprints on 3D objects including bullets, pens, tools & syringes etc.
An innovative new accessory for use with the Crime-lite Imager and DCS fingerprint imaging systems, the Cylindrical Surface Un-wrapper (CSU)enables the forensic examiner to extract 2D images of fingerprints from a 3D cylindrical surface.
Designed to capture high-quality images of fingerprints from the cylindrical surfaces of bullet casings, pens, and hand tools etc., the CSU uniformly rotates items of evidence while the attached Crime-lite Imager or DCS workstation captures, stitches and blends a series of images together to create a single 2D image of the fingermark.
Using the CSU, items of evidence that had previously presented a significant challenge to forensic photographers can now be quickly and easily ‘unwrapped’ for examination and enhancement.
