By leveraging the unique spatial-temporal characteristics of early fire development, MSBRL provides critical insights even when direct visualization of the fire is not possible. We establish both theoretical and practical foundations for this method: a comprehensive mathematical model incorporating primary and secondary light reflections demonstrates how brightness ratios uniquely determine source locations, while controlled experiments in a real-world fire case validate its effectiveness. Results show that MSBRL can precisely locate fire origins through systematic post-incident validation, successfully replicating observed brightness patterns using controlled light sources.

This study proposes a protocol for 3D-3D registration of labial dentition and systematically evaluates its forensic efficacy across two precision scenarios: high- (intraoral scans) and low-precision (3D facial scans). Thirty participants underwent sequential acquisition of maxillary intraoral scans (IOS-1) and 3D facial models (Face-1), with follow-up acquisitions (IOS-2, Face-2) obtained after a six-month interval to assess temporal consistency. Standardized extraction of labial crown regions of interest (ROIs) was performed using Geomagic Control X software, with subsequent calculation of root mean square (RMS) distances between matched and mismatched pairs. Relative Technical Error of Measurement (rTEM) and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to assess observer errors and group differences.
