Skin injury model classification based on shape vector analysis

Abstract: Background: Skin injuries can be crucial in judicial decision making. Forensic experts base their classification on subjective opinions. This study investigates whether known classes of simulated skin injuries are correctly classified statistically based on 3D surface models and derived numerical shape descriptors.Methods: Skin injury surface characteristics are simulated with plasticine. Six injury classes – abrasions, incised wounds, gunshot entry wounds, smooth and textured strangulation marks as well as pa… Show more

“…Virtopsy R subsequently developed into a multi-tool documentation and analysis research project [17], combining 3D body surface imaging methods with merged CT/ and MRI-data and 3D shape analysis [34,35,36,37,38,39], the application of multidetector or multislice [40] CT and MRI found continued interest [41,42,43,44,45,46] also for problems specific to clinical forensic medicine [47,48], then for high-resolution micro-CT [49,50] and micro-MRI (MR microscopy) [51], magnetic resonance spectroscopy (time-of-death determinations) [52,53,54], image-guided percutaneous biopsy [55,56,57,58,59], postmortem angiography [60,61,62,63,64,65,66], post mortem identification [67,68], postmortem ventilation [69,70], and non-invasive tool and data display control such as the integration of a Kinect camera [71,72] or 3D printing and rapid prototyping [73]. Added value for the conventional autopsy results from improved planning and better diagnostics.…”

“…Added value for the conventional autopsy results from improved planning and better diagnostics. Some concise advantages are the identification and incorporation of bone bruises into accident reconstructions [45]), the identification of gas (relevant in diving related deaths [74,75,76]), the ability to identify pathology in decaying tissue (that can be difficult if not impossible to handle manually at dissection [77,78]), the ability to extract and use information related to (chemical) material composition [79,80], documentation of medical installations [81] and exploitation of digital data for reconstructive purposes [34,35,82,39]. Furthermore, advances in usage of reconstructive aspects of 3D CT reconstructions have lead to routine integration of forensic aspects into clinical forensic medicine (Fig.…”
