An efficient method for building a database of diatom populations for drowning site inference using a deep learning algorithm.

International journal of legal medicine
Seasonal or monthly databases of the diatom populations in specific bodies of water are needed to infer the drowning site of a drowned body. However, existing diatom testing methods are laborious, time-consuming, and costly and usually require specif...

Automated age estimation of young individuals based on 3D knee MRI using deep learning.

International journal of legal medicine
Age estimation is a crucial element of forensic medicine to assess the chronological age of living individuals without or lacking valid legal documentation. Methods used in practice are labor-intensive, subjective, and frequently comprise radiation e...

Age estimation based on 3D pulp chamber segmentation of first molars from cone-beam-computed tomography by integrated deep learning and level set.

International journal of legal medicine
OBJECTIVES: To develop an automatic segmentation method to segment the pulp chamber of first molars from 3D cone-beam-computed tomography (CBCT) images, and to estimate ages by calculated pulp volumes.

Machine learning approaches for sex estimation using cranial measurements.

International journal of legal medicine
The aim of the present study is to apply support vector machines (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) as sex classifiers and to generate useful classification models for sex estimation based on cranial measurements. Besides, the performance of t...

Advancements in sex estimation using the diaphyseal cross-sectional geometric properties of the lower and upper limbs.

International journal of legal medicine
This paper introduces an automated method for estimating sex from the lower and upper limbs based on diaphyseal CSG properties. The proposed method was developed and evaluated using 389 femurs, 412 tibias, and 404 humeri of adult individuals from a m...

Automated diatom searching in the digital scanning electron microscopy images of drowning cases using the deep neural networks.

International journal of legal medicine
Forensic diatom test has been widely accepted as a way of providing supportive evidences in the diagnosis of drowning. The current workflow is primarily based on the observation of diatoms by forensic pathologists under a microscopy, and this process...

Towards fully automated third molar development staging in panoramic radiographs.

International journal of legal medicine
Staging third molar development is commonly used for age assessment in sub-adults. Current staging techniques are, at most, semi-automated and rely on manual interactions prone to operator variability. The aim of this study was to fully automate the ...

Sex estimation: a comparison of techniques based on binary logistic, probit and cumulative probit regression, linear and quadratic discriminant analysis, neural networks, and naïve Bayes classification using ordinal variables.

International journal of legal medicine
The performance of seven classification methods, binary logistic (BLR), probit (PR) and cumulative probit (CPR) regression, linear (LDA) and quadratic (QDA) discriminant analysis, artificial neural networks (ANN), and naïve Bayes classification (NBC)...

Use of pattern recognition and neural networks for non-metric sex diagnosis from lateral shape of calvarium: an innovative model for computer-aided diagnosis in forensic and physical anthropology.

International journal of legal medicine
Sex determination on skeletal remains is one of the most important diagnosis in forensic cases and in demographic studies on ancient populations. Our purpose is to realize an automatic operator-independent method to determine the sex from the bone sh...

Sex estimation from the tarsal bones in a Portuguese sample: a machine learning approach.

International journal of legal medicine
Sex estimation is extremely important in the analysis of human remains as many of the subsequent biological parameters are sex specific (e.g., age at death, stature, and ancestry). When dealing with incomplete or fragmented remains, metric analysis o...
