Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Blood identification is crucial for crime scene reconstruction.
  • Conventional chemical methods for blood detection can compromise subsequent DNA analysis.
  • A non-destructive approach is needed to preserve forensic evidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a non-destructive method for bloodstain identification using Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI).
  • To analyze the spectral characteristics of blood and differentiate it from other substances.
  • To assess the method's effectiveness on various substrates and over time.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) in the 397-1000 nm range to capture spectral data.
  • Focused on visualizing heme-component spectral bands between 500-700 nm.
  • Applied Savitzky Golay filtering for spectral enhancement, especially for aged samples.
  • Trained five classifiers (SVM, ANN, KNN, Random Forest, Decision Tree) using derivative spectra.

Main Results:

  • The HSI method successfully identified bloodstains by visualizing heme-component spectral bands.
  • The method demonstrated effectiveness across different substrates (cotton, tile, PVC) and aging periods (up to three days).
  • Classifiers trained on spectral data achieved high accuracy in differentiating blood from non-blood samples.
  • The proposed HSI method outperformed existing state-of-the-art techniques.

Conclusions:

  • Hyperspectral Imaging offers a viable, non-destructive alternative for bloodstain identification in forensic investigations.
  • The visualization of heme-component spectral bands is a reliable indicator for blood detection.
  • This technique preserves the integrity of the evidence for downstream analyses like DNA profiling.
