Aviation accident and incidents are extremely painful and expensive
for the aviation industry. This is why the aviation industry has
investigative engineers who hold the responsibility of investigating
accidents by reviewing and identifying the primary cause of the accident,
whether it was related to aircraft performance such as, aerodynamics,
engines, electrics, hydraulics, or if it was environmental or simply human
Investigating aircraft accidents can be extremely complex, sometimes
taking many months to figure out the cause of the whole accident. So for
the purpose of this task, there are engineers who often collaborate to work
in teams in conducting the investigations. Primarily they are solely
responsible licensed Professional Engineers, hired by the FAA Air
In this paper, I will try to explain the various techniques used by
aircraft accident investigating teams today.
History of photography shows that Newhall's attempted to synthesize
techniques and aesthetics to create contemporary approaches to photography.
His aesthetic ideal was monolithic: sharp focus, a full range of tones,
and clarity of detail. "In today's photographic work, the first and
foremost issue is to develop an integrally photographic approach that is
derived purely from the means of photography itself." Strand wrote that

uniqueness of means. [Source: Nickel, Douglas R Volume: 83 Number: 3 ISSN:

Digital forensic photogrammetry incorporates digital imaging, graphic
visualization, and orthorectification in the same tools. Tools such as Kaon
Interactive allow investigators to reconstruct crime scenes in 3D and
consequently make exact photogrammetric measuremen...
