Scientific Background
This section provides background information on some of the scientific principles behind HemoVision. It is intended to give forensic practitioners a clear and accessible understanding of the methods used in the software, without requiring a deep technical or mathematical background.
The articles in this section explain key concepts such as:
- how bloodstain shapes relate to impact angles
- how trajectories are reconstructed in three dimensions
- how Areas of Origin are estimated from multiple stains
- how complex scenes can be reconstructed using photography
Each page summarizes a scientific publication and translates it into practical insights that are relevant for casework.
How to Use This Section
You can read these pages to better understand:
- how results in HemoVision are generated
- what assumptions are made during analysis
- what level of accuracy can be expected
- how to interpret results in a forensic context
The goal is not to replace the original scientific articles, but to provide a practical interpretation that supports correct and confident use of the software.
Info
Each page in this section is based on a peer-reviewed scientific publication. References to the original articles are included at the bottom for those who want to explore the full methodology and validation in more detail.
