Publisher's Synopsis
Forensic Imaging and its Applications is a comprehensive textbook covering all aspects of Forensic Imaging from a global perspective.
With the introduction of digital technology, the forensic world has been opened up to new effective and efficient ways of enhancing, capturing and transmitting forensic evidence. The use of forensic imaging technology is now used during every stage of a forensic investigation from the crime scene to the court. From CCTV in some cases capturing the crime as it happens; the imaging of the crime scene itself and the evidence types contained in it; transmitting the results of this to a central location where analysis is carried out; the analysis of exhibits brought back from the crime scene to the capture of analytical results that are put into electronic court packages to show the jury pictorially how the case has been pieced together.
