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.
