This document describes a Sensor Application Programming Interface (API) enabling a set of network- enabled near real-time contactless sensors, used in the context of crime scene investigations, to connect to the RISEN System for the optimisation of the trace, detection, visualisation, identification and interpretation on-site, combining 3D scene reconstruction capabilities and digital evidence management.
It defines the application programming interface (API) for the RISEN System as the mechanism to allow the RISEN sensors (or analytical tools) to operate with the RISEN System in a modular way. This means that, by following the RISEN API specifications, and subject to successful authorisation, any sensor can seamlessly connect to and exchange information with the RISEN System.
The API concept is designed to offer flexibility, modularity and interoperability by incorporating widely used Internet-based standards and technologies. Moreover, the definition of a “Generic API”, incorporating a “common interface bus” and common sensor functions, allows for different RISEN sensors to interface with the RISEN System in a harmonised way, thus enabling the “RISEN Sensor API”- compliant sensors to seamlessly connect to and exchange information (i.e., plug’n’play) with the RISEN System.
