Abstract:

The effective and accurate area measurement of body surface injury regions is important for the appraisal work of forensic medicine of public security. Considering that most of the area measurement methods used in current forensic appraisals still have strong dependence on man-made manipulation, a fuzzy c-means (FCM)-based area measurement system for body surface injury regions is designed in this paper. Aiming at the problems of poor clustering effects and poor real-time performance of FCM in the area measurement process, a design method based on super-pixel segmentation and multi-subgroup parallel artificial fish swarm is proposed in the designed system, and on this basis, the overall process framework and system workflow are designed and given. Finally, the simulation results show that the designed system can effectively improve the segmentation quality, segmentation speed, and area measurement precision of the injury region, thus providing better effectiveness and accuracy for the appraisal work of forensic medicine.

Key words: area measurement system, body surface injury region, FCM, super-pixel segmentation, parallel artificial fish swarm
