Global interlaboratory study: Assessing consistency and accuracy for determining source of...
Images containing faces, body parts, vehicles, weapons, clothing, luggage, furniture, landscapes, and buildings are routinely sent to forensic laboratories for comparison. Trained forensic practitioners offer an opinion regarding a common source or a different source. Results fro...
Study on the thermal damage traces of common textile fibers after simulated transient...
Gas explosions often result in the loss of biological evidence. This is due to transient thermal exposure and extreme destructiveness. Such conditions pose significant challenges to the identification of suspects and the reconstruction of their behavior. Clothing fibers act as di...
Evaluating the use of a novel expert system for interpretation of media authentication...
The evolution of artificial intelligence has enabled the creation of hyper‐realistic synthetic images and videos, significantly complicating the authentication of media evidence. Many algorithmic approaches to media authentication have proven ineffective in digital forensics, par...

Area of origin analysis for expirated patterns using HemoVision
Although bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) can be performed on various types of patterns, there is a lack of research looking into whether the area of origin (AO) can be determined for expirated patterns. Expirated patterns are formed when blood is pushed out of an opening in the...
Illegal electric fencing acting as a death trap in a suspected homicide
Electrocution fatalities most commonly occur in domestic or occupational settings. When such deaths are found in remote outdoor locations, they often raise suspicion of homicide or deliberate body disposal. Deaths due to illegal electric fencing are rare and usually accidental, o...
Not a firearm: A case report of a fatal penetrating pseudo‐ballistic neck injury from...
Fatal injuries caused by defective airbag inflators are increasingly recognized as a distinct forensic and medicolegal issue. We describe the case of a 51‐year‐old male driver who was transported by emergency medical services following a low‐speed frontal collision with a palm tr...
Deep learning in image forgery: A systematic review for risk of bias (RoB)
Image forgery (IF) is a critical issue that can lead to the misinterpretation of visual information. Conventional strategies for IF detection are primarily manual feature‐based and therefore require further analysis. Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown a positive impact in the...
A forensic evaluation method of stable diffusion‐generated images using feature‐based...
With the increasing realism of artificial intelligence (AI)‐generated images from Stable Diffusion and similar models, forensic practitioners face significant challenges in image authenticity verification. This study proposes a feature‐based likelihood ratio model based on deep l...
Quantitative study on the discriminative value of fingerprint minutiae
Traditional fingerprint identification primarily relies on the number of matching minutiae between the questioned and reference prints, where identity is determined by whether the match count exceeds a fixed threshold. However, this "minimum matching pair threshold method&qu...
