Poroscopy as a Method for Personal Identificatıon: Issues and Challenges

Abstract

Practical application of “Poroscopy” in personal identification has a dubious placein Forensic Scenario since the time it was proposed for the first time by Locard. The interest of researchers in this field could not be seen becuase of microscopic nature of the pores and use of opticle microscope. With the emergence of biometrics and image processing tools, one can analyse microscopic pores on computer screen without strain. Though studies with respect to its utility in biometrics have been accepted, the importance of poroscopy is still to be established when analysis of latent finger marks are encountered. In present work, poroscopy has been studied from its various aspects with respect to latent finger marks. We research relationship between time distance of taking ink prints and the consistency of the number of second level characteristics and pores in different zones of the first phalangs of the inked fingerprints. Then we research latent finger marks on different surfaces including unfired cartridge cases obtained and developed with various techniques to look into the results with respect to visibility of pores in corresponding positions. Pores visibility was found to be better in central zone of the fingerprints with respect of the time interval of taking prints. The visiblity of pores in developed finger marks on different surfaces differed considerably due to type of surface and method used to develop the finger mark. There was no change in pores with respect to their openness or closeness at various intervals of the day as reported by Faulds. Though poroscopy can be considered in personal identification but its use in case of identification from latent finger marks requires further studies to establish their permanency and reproducibility.
