    Discrimination of human and animal bloodstains using hyperspectral imaging
    (Universität Leipzig, 2024-04-26) Babian, Carsten; Cooney, Gary Sean; Chalopin, Claire; Köhler, Hannes
    To address the question of blood origin, the novel application of visible-near infrared hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is used for the detection and discrimination of human and animal bloodstains. The HSI system used is a portable, non-contact, non-destructive method for the determination of blood origin. A support vector machine (SVM) binary classifier was trained for the discrimination of bloodstains of human (n = 20) and five animal species: pig (n = 20), mouse (n = 16), rat (n = 5), rabbit (n = 5), and cow (n = 20).
