CRASH VEHICLES

Photogrammetry is an accurate and convenient tool for measuring accident vehicle damage using photographs.  Investigators often use damage measurements to estimate vehicle speeds and other crash parameters.  Photographs taken by first responders, bystanders, insurance adjusters, or accident reconstructionists can all be useful in building a photo model from which damage can be measured, with no special equipment required.  Measured Images specializes in this type of analysis.

EXEMPLAR VEHICLES

An exemplar vehicle model is often an integral part of a damage analysis.  Exemplar vehicle photos can be used to supplement limited accident vehicle photos and provide a scale for measurements.  They can also produce an undamaged vehicle shape for comparison to a crush profile.  Measured Images has access to a large selection of suitable exemplar vehicles in the Tucson and Phoenix metro areas.

SCENES

Scene evidence may have been preserved in police or bystander photographs, and photogrammetry is an ideal solution for gathering data that might otherwise be lost.  Inspection photos, digital survey data, or even hand-written measurements may be incorporated into the photo model as well, producing a summary view of all the evidence in one diagram.  Measured Images is experienced in the conduct of vehicle and scene inspections, and in the production of scene diagrams.

UNIQUE PROJECTS

Data can be gathered from photos or video footage in any number of unique circumstances.  Measured Images has used photogrammetry to measure the speed of vehicles in a security video, the height of an individual in historical photographs, and the dimensions of a failed safety grating that was no longer available for inspection.  We have even used photogrammetry to measure the size of boat wakes using floats and drone video footage.
