Shape recognition and pattern recog- nition are one of the most important tasks in the image processing. Crime scene photographs should always be in focus and there should be always be a ruler be present, this will allow the investigators the ability to resize the image to accurately reconstruct the scene. There- fore, the camera must be on a grounded platform such as tripod. Due to the rotation of the camera around the camera center there exist the distortion in the image which must be minimized.
