Establishing ground control with the Leica Zeno FLX100 in forensic investigations


Join Will Henningsen of Collision & Crime Forensic Solutions as he demonstrates the use of the Leica Zeno FLX100 Plus smart antenna for use in real-world crime and collision investigations. This compact, rugged, and cost-effective GNSS solution simplifies the collection of Ground Control Points (GCPs), enabling precise georeferencing of scan data captured at the scene.

In this video, you'll learn how GCPs are strategically placed to align laser scan and drone imagery to real-world coordinates, essential for creating accurate, survey-grade reconstructions. William also explains how this method helps merge multiple scan datasets, even when natural overlap is missing, reducing scanning time while expanding coverage.

Whether you're in law enforcement, crash reconstruction, or forensic surveying, this demonstration shows how accessible and powerful ground control can be with the right tools.

Biography: William Henningsen has been with the Omaha Police Department’s Forensic Investigations Unit (FIS) since 1996. He has been involved in training and consulting with Collision & Crime Forensic Solutions (CFS) since 2015. He is currently certified as a Forensic Video Technician by the Law Enforcement and Emergency Services Video Association (LEVA). William is certified by Leica Geosystems as a Forensic Laser Scanner and has been previously certified as a Crime Scene Analyst by the International Association for Identification (IAI). He serves as a board member of the International Association of Forensic and Security Metrology (IAFSM) and has been a member of that organization since its founding. William is also a member of the Professional Society of Forensic Mapping (PSFM).

Ground control prevents inaccurate elevation data from distorting the reconstruction of crash or crime scenes and compromising the integrity of the evidence. Ground control also enables the integration of data from multiple sources, such as UAVs, laser scanners, and total stations, providing a comprehensive analysis of complex scenes.
