Aging of Latent Prints

[Ernie Hamm]

A colleague, Ronny Merkel, at Magdeburg University in Germany has finished a dissertation, "Solutions for an old challenge; chances and limitations of optical, non-invasive acquisition and digital processing for the age estimation of latent fingerprints”. This is an extensive document, in English, and is available through a link provided by Ronny. Because there were hyperlinks in the message from Ronny, I wanted to have the information cleared and posted to CLPEX through/by site administrators, but to no avail.

There was also mention of a call for papers for an upcoming summer workshop in Italy on “Multimedia Crime Scene Forensics for Fingerprint Acquisition and Processing (MM4CSF)”.

If anyone is interested in either of these documents, please contact me by PM or direct email and I will be more than willing to provide the download link and the “Call for Papers” information.
