Implementing probabilistic approaches and
Bloodstain Pattern Simulation [with
Francesco Camana ‐ Italian State Police
Abstract
Biography
A general overview of the importance of
the statistical and probabilistic approaches
in BPA is presented. In particular
we show examples of application of
the probabilistic method for the calculation
of the area of convergence of projected
blood drops, realized with AnTra-
GoS, the BPA software of Italian National
Police.
Moreover we describe a possible procedure
to estimate the height of origin of
projections, based on a combined analysis
of the single drop trajectories. We
finally present the usefulness of Bloodstain
Pattern Simulation (BPS) as a tool
for reproducing the statistical characters
of the blood patterns and for validating
the results of the determination of the
area of origin.
