An investigator must know three things before going out to an accident site: how to use their camera effectively, how and what to take pictures of at the accident site, and how photos/video can be analysed for the accident investigation.
Technology has provided amazing tools for the accident investigator. A modern cell phone in the hands of a trained investigator can be used to make surveys, 3D models and panoramic images of a crash site. SLR cameras can record in great detail situations that will perish. The same tools in the hands of a witness can capture critical video of an aircraft incident, which can be analysed to calculate flight parameters. Knowledge of digital photography and analysis can help an investigator take better pictures, collect better information, and ultimately produce more findings.
This workshop covers aspects of modern aircraft accident photography, from taking photos and video at a crash site for subsequent analysis and measurement, to analysis of cockpit or witnesses video footage in order to derive an aircraft’s flight path. Best practices for the use of modern technology such as smart phones, tablets, and unmanned aerial vehicles, are presented. Course members are provided with the software tools and instruction to carry out analysis during the workshop and after workshop completion.
This workshop is for investigators who want to learn how to effectively capture photographic evidence at a crash site with modern tools such as the digital camera or cell phone, and analyse these photos using accessible programs to produce site surveys and 3D models. The workshop also provides an introduction to analysis of aircraft cockpit video as well as video collected from witnesses, to extrapolate aircraft flight information.
