Dimensional Analysis of a Crime Scene from a Single Image

Dimensional analysis from a single image is an interesting topic of investigation in the research community, even though range sensors are becoming a common alternative for the generation of metric information in real-time. The interest in obtaining metric measurements from a single image is motivated by a wide spectrum of applications such as cultural heritage, civil engineering, urban planning, and even criminology. This paper describes the research conducted in collaboration with the Scientific Madrid Police (Spain), to evaluate the utility of a single image approach for scene of crime dimensional analysis.
