Nonlinear blood pattern reconstruction Cecchetto, Benjamin Thomas
Abstract
We present a method of reconstructing the area of origin for blood droplets given the position and directions of impact stains. This method works for nonlinear trajectories, such as parabolic motion or motion with drag. A model for fitting ellipses to the stains, obtaining impact velocities, blood drop mass and drag coefficient from blood splatter image densities, impact angle and pattern is also provided. We also show how to use this extra data to aid with our estimation. We validate our method in several experiments involving blood splatters at varying velocities and angles.
