Photogrammetry Tools for Crime Scene Mapping

When a crime happens, every detail matters. Investigators need tools to see the full picture. One of the best tools they now use is photogrammetry. It helps crime scene investigators map and measure what happened. At Cognitech, we offer powerful photogrammetry software that leads the way in solving complex cases. 

What Is Photogrammetry?

Photogrammetry is a science that uses photos or videos to make measurements. It can turn a flat image into a 3D map of the crime scene. This helps experts see the size, shape, and location of everything in the scene. It’s like turning a photo into a map that you can measure. 

Why Use Photogrammetry in Crime Scenes?

Photogrammetry software

Many crimes are captured on video or in photos. But to use that media as evidence, experts need to understand exactly what it shows. That’s where crime scene video analysis and photogrammetry work together. 

With the right tools, experts can: 

  • Measure how tall a person is 
  • See how far objects are from each other 
  • Check body sizes (not just height) 
  • Find out the size of a car 
  • Look at angles, lengths, and areas 

This data can prove where someone stood, what they did, or even help match someone to the scene. 

The Power of Cognitech Auto Measure

AutoMeasure is our patented forensic photogrammetry software. It’s not like other tools. Some software can only measure a few things—maybe just someone’s height. Ours can measure almost anything visible in the scene. 

This includes: 

  • Biometric details (like shoulder width) 
  • Vehicle size and type 
  • Scene areas and distances 
  • Angles between objects 

And best of all, it works with both videos and images. This makes it perfect for modern investigations, where video is often key. 

3D MultiView Measure: Go Beyond Basic Tools

Many tools only use something called “single-frame metrology.” This method looks for straight lines in buildings or roads to guess sizes and distances. But what if the scene is in a park, garden, or wooded area? No straight lines. No help. 

That’s where our 3D MultiView Measure tool shines. It can: 

  • Work without straight lines or man-made structures 
  • Use just one scale to give full scene measurements 
  • Give fast and accurate results—even if the original camera is gone 

Other tools can’t do this. That’s why Cognitech’s solutions are trusted in tough, real-world cases.
