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). Data and methods are described in detail in the attached documents and in https://doi.org/10.1007/s12024-023-00689-0. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
