{"title":"Next-generation forensic 3D surface documentation with projection-assisted digital spray multicamera photogrammetry and 3D gaussian splatting.","authors":"Michael Thali, Jasmin Herr, Dominic Gascho","doi":"10.1007/s12024-026-01353-z","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12024-026-01353-z","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Accurate injury documentation is essential in forensic medicine, however conventional two-dimensional imaging methods are limited in their ability to capture spatial morphology and enable retrospective three-dimensional (3D) reassessment. Although multicamera photogrammetry has significantly advanced forensic surface documentation, challenges remain when imaging with low texture, homogeneous coloration, or reflective properties. This study presents an integrated workflow combining multicamera photogrammetry with projection-assisted acquisition using a digital spray mode to improve surface reconstruction under optically challenging conditions. Technical feasibility was evaluated using a handbag, a mannequin, and a voluntary participant with simulated injuries applied as adhesive tattoos, acquired using the Botspot full-body scanner NEO system. The workflow generated anatomically coherent full-body 360° models with high-fidelity texture representation, enabling clear visualization, identification and retrospective 3D measurement of simulated injuries. Compared with conventional passive acquisition, the digital spray mode improved reconstruction completeness and feature-matching stability. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of integrating enhanced acquisition techniques with advanced visualization methods in a unified forensic workflow and highlight the potential of non-contact projection-assisted technologies for documenting optically challenging surfaces, including visually homogeneous or reflective regions of human skin, without requiring physical surface treatment that could interfere with forensic evidence. In addition, image datasets acquired within this workflow were processed using 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), a radiance field-based rendering method enabling efficient real-time rendering and high-fidelity visualization of reconstructed scenes. While current 3DGS representations are primarily optimized for visualization rather than metrically validated surface reconstruction, the technique demonstrates considerable potential for future forensic applications, particularly in interactive documentation, immersive case review, and advanced 3D visualization workflows.</p>","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148896860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to construct a high-fidelity finite element (FE) head model, validate it using 3D-printed biomimetic skull experiments, and investigate the relationship between momentum and injury severity in sharp instrument stabs to the head, thereby providing scientific evidence for case analysis. A high-fidelity FE head model was reconstructed based on the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) model. Biomimetic skulls were 3D-printed using PEEK material. Experimental data obtained from slashing with a Chinese kitchen knife were collected via sensors and motion capture systems, using the erosion failure model to simulate wound formation. Following model validation, the approach was applied to a real stabbing fatality case to systematically simulate stabbing processes under varying momenta (0.75-11.25 kg·m/s). FE model validation demonstrated close alignment between simulation and experimental results, with errors in wound dimensions and slashing force within 15.0%. Case reconstruction revealed that the minimum momentum required to reproduce penetrating injury in the homicide case was 9.75 kg·m/s. In the present simulation framework, momentum values of 0.75 kg·m/s, 2.25 kg·m/s, and 5.25 kg·m/s were associated with minor, moderate, and serious skull injuries, respectively. This study provides a biomechanical framework for quantitative simulation and illustrative case reconstruction of sharp force injuries. The real-case application serves primarily as an example of the proposed biomechanical reconstruction approach, which may enhance the objectivity of injury severity assessment when integrated with other forensic evidence and provide reproducible biomechanical support for case investigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":12449,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"1200-1210"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147863833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
