PIC Fotoprint

ImageA common problem with persons arrested at short notice is the fast determination of the personal data. However, without the personal data the personal effects can not be assigned to a name. (No effects are allowed in the cells). Hence the danger of mix-ups is very high.

For the largest police corps of Switzerland we developed a system with which we could solve this problem elegantly.

The requirements were very high:
  • Easy to handle
  • Costs below CHF 7'000.00 with hardware
  • Use of standard components
  • Little printing costs
ImageThe system consists of a PIC shuttle PC with a monitor, a laser printer, webcam and the software PIC photo print.
The arrested person is filmed with the live webcam. With a mouse click we produce a freeze frame. This fixed-image is put onto 4 horizontal, identical, pictures over a mask and then printed. The printout occurs on self-adhesive labels with 2x4 distributions. Like this the first 4 sticky labels in the horizontal can be printed in the first run and in the second run the second 4 labels can be printed. Then these sticky labels are put onto the effects of the arrested person. Thus a mix-up of arrested person and the effects is impossible.
