Usually, crimes and more specifically assassinations take part indoors and at particular locations. Under this scope, we demonstrate a range of  3D scanning modalities in a simulated indoor crime scene. We propose 3D scanning as a complement to traditional photographic documentation of the scene. For better comprehension of the reconstruction quality obtained from each modality and/or further research on the topic, we release the 3D files of the scene to the public. We also provide ground-truth measurements as a comparison to those that could be obtained using the 3D reconstructions.

The modalities that were utilized are:

• FARO Focus M70

• FARO Freestyle 3DX

• DSLR and Pix4D photogrammetry software

• RGB-D scanner based on Asus XTION

• iPhone 12 Pro Max and Trnio 3D Scanner application
