Postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and autopsy findings suggested that the deceased may have been struck by the vehicle from the right side first, given the severe damage to the right side of the body, including abrasions, the right chest bruising, and multiple fractures of the right ribs. To clarify the mechanism of injury, a 3D model of the bones arranged in three postures, including standing, prone and crouching patterns created from PMCT data, was fitted to a car of the same model as the suspect vehicle using augmented reality (AR). This revealed that the lower part of the left frontal light, where the victim's hair and sebum had been found, matched the location of the skull fracture if the victim had been in a crouching posture. Moreover, in this posture, the location of the right rib fracture coincided with the left front part of the car. Therefore, the deceased was most likely initially struck by the car from the right side when in a crouching position.

Three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry may offer a technologically advanced, low cost, and more objective alternative to assess the complex curvature of anatomical landmarks. This research explores the accuracy of photogrammetry derived 3D models by comparing digital measurements to those obtained from the skeletal elements and to streamline the application of curvature analysis for the estimation of assigned sex from the GSN. This study utilizes the left and right os coxae from 15 skeletal individuals (5 females, 10 males) from the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. A Fujifilm X-Pro2 and Fujifilm 35 mm prime lens captured 123 images per element, which were processed in Meshroom by AliceVision® to create a 3D textured mesh. The mesh was exported into Blender for cleanup, scaling, measurement, and curvature analysis. The measurements were between 96.54 % and 99.94 % consistent across methods and observations. The consistency between digital metric observations increased by an average of 0.07 % when compared to the consistency of the dry bone measurements. Additionally, curvature analysis of the GSN correctly estimated the assigned sex of all os coxae in the sample. This study demonstrates that photogrammetry is an accurate and reliable method for the digitization of remains that enables analytical techniques to better capture skeletal variation compared to traditional methods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":40763,"journal":{"name":"Forensic Imaging","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 200576"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139434561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
