In violent vehicular crimes, the damaged area of a vehicle is usually repainted artificially in order to conceal the evidence. Detecting and recovering the hidden sub-layer morphology of repainted automotive paint is highly valuable for providing trace evidence in hit-and-run cases. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel forensic imaging technique for repainted automotive paint analysis with the advantages of non-destructive, noncontact, high-resolution and cross-sectional imaging. In this study, we applied a custom-built spectral-domain OCT configuration with ~6 μm axial and lateral resolution to obtain three-dimensional (3D) images of an artificially prepared, internally-damaged, repainted automotive paint surface. Two-dimensional (2D) cross-sectional images were produced to locate the damaged area and 3D-OCT reconstruction was performed to directly visualize the sub-layers beneath the repainted paint surface. The results demonstrate that 3D-OCT technology manages to recover high-resolution sub-layer images of the repainted automotive paint through volumetric imaging, and thus provides more valuable information for forensic purposes.

HUMAN fingerprints , *OPTICAL coherence tomography , *ADHESIVE tape , *FORENSIC sciences , *IMAGE quality analysis - Abstract
Adhesive tape is one type of common item which can be encountered in criminal cases involving rape, murder, kidnapping and explosives. It is often the case that a suspect deposits latent fingerprints on the sticky side of adhesive tape material when tying up victims, manufacturing improvised explosive devices or packaging illegal goods. However, the adhesive tapes found at crime scenes are usually stuck together or attached to a certain substrate, and thus the latent fingerprints may be hidden beneath the tapes. Current methods to detect latent fingerprint hidden beneath adhesive tape need to peel it off first and then apply physical or chemical methods to develop the fingerprint, which undergo complicated procedures and would affect the original condition of latent print. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel applied techniques in forensics which enables obtaining cross-sectional structure with the advantages of non-invasive, in-situ, high resolution and high speed. In this paper, a custom-built spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) system with a hand-held probe was employed to detect fingerprints hidden beneath different types of adhesive tapes. Three-dimensional (3D) OCT reconstructions were performed and the en face images were presented to reveal the hidden fingerprints. The results demonstrate that OCT is a promising tool for rapidly detecting and recovering high quality image of latent fingerprint hidden beneath adhesive tape without any changes to the original state and preserve the integrity of the evidence.

Automotive paint is common trace evidence that plays a significant role in many vehicle-related criminal cases. However, the conventional methods of obtaining tomographic images tend to damage the samples. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel method to obtain high-resolution and cross-sectional images of the automotive paints in a non-destructive, and high-speed manner. In this study, OCT was applied to image and analyze the automotive paint, using scanning electron microscope (SEM) as reference. Eight automotive paint samples of different brands were examined. The images of multi-layer structures provided by OCT system with 5μm depth resolution were consistent with those by SEM. To distinguish different paints with similar visual appearance, we extracted internal structural features from the images using peak analysis and optical attenuation fit. Six characterized parameters were found to distinguish the samples including the optical path length (OPL) of base coat, the optical attenuation coefficient (OAC) of base coat, the OPL of clear coat, the back-scattering ratio (BSR) of clear coat and base coat, the OPL of primer surfacer, and the BSR of base coat and primer. Statistical differences were evaluated by an independent t-test with p<0.05. OCT was applied to analyze repainted paint as well. Three-dimensional OCT reconstruction of the paints was also implemented to create en face (transverse section) images for morphology examination and comparison. These results suggest that OCT imaging can provide additional new features for analyzing the automotive paints and thereby may be a promising supplement to traditional methods. Meanwhile, the OCT system is favorable for achieving in-situ and real-time examination at the scene of crime. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
