Automation of forensic examinations of different types:
capture and processing of any graphic images
comparative examinations of images
enhancement of latent print images (of poor quality, contaminated or overlapping) before entering them into the PAPILLON AFIS database
preparation and printing of examination reports and charts
The RASTR system is recommended for use at criminal investigation departments of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, as an advanced instrumental and analytical base for trace, fingerprint and other types of forensic examinations (“Resolution of the Criminal Expertize Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs” dated December 08, 2004).
Functions:
Creation of specialized, protected databases for storing images, documents, expert reports in electronic form
A variety of sources supported for image acquisition
Non-destructive transformations of digital images in order to enhance and make undistinguishable details identifiable:
Image examinations, including comparative study, with mandatory saving of the original image and the history of its modification:
Creation of reports on examination results using original and processed images, and printing of examination worksheets:
RASTR works with images that can be acquired with classic tools (digital camera, flatbed scanner, webcam), as well as with images acquired with specialized PAPILLON products:
ExpertLab – Universal system for image capture and reproduction
FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) filters for separation of overlapping latent prints
Detection of counterfeit money, documents, seals – CMYK channel separation tools detect “yellow” marks left by color laser printers
Scale adjustment tools – the Comparator tool allows quick rescaling of compared images
Non-destructive image transformations and tracking – the history of all transformations is saved with the ability to undoany action performed and return the original image
Automated drawing-up of examination reports – ready charted images for presenting at the court
Database protected from unauthorized access, confidentiality of processed information, keeping of the histories of image processing
Automating forensic examinations
Scanning and photographing polysurfaces
Examination with the application of non-destructive methods
Optimal for local automation
