A Survey of Crime Scene Investigation Image Retrieval Using Deep Learning

Crime scene investigation(CSI)image is key evidence carrier during criminal investiga-tion,in which CSI image retrieval can assist the public police to obtain criminal clues.Moreover,with the rapid development of deep learning,data-driven paradigm has become the mainstreammethod of CSI image feature extraction and representation,and in this process,datasets provideeffective support for CSI retrieval performance.However,there is a lack of systematic research onCSI image retrieval methods and datasets.Therefore,we present an overview of the existing worksabout one-class and multi-class CSI image retrieval based on deep learning.According to theresearch,based on their technical functionalities and implementation methods,CSI image retrievalis roughly classified into five categories:feature representation,metric learning,generative adversar-ial networks,autoencoder networks and attention networks.Furthermore,We analyzed the remain-ing challenges and discussed future work directions in this field.

The Development of Forensic Process Model for Criminal Investigation in Three Southern Border Provinces of Thailand

The purpose of this research is to study the process of forensic science execution in order to use crime investigation in three southern border provinces of Thailand, such as the study of problems and obstacles including the factors that affect forensic examination to use criminal investigation in three southern border provinces, offer the guidance in pattern development of forensic sciences examination in three southern border provinces with standard, and are able to use in criminal investigation effectively. Data were collected from all related agencies. The results of this research have showed that executive process of forensic science is used to investigate the crime in three southern border provinces that can be divided the operations into three main issues as following： crime scene examination, evidence testing, autopsy in case of crime scene, and factors which affect forensic work for using in criminal investigation in three southern border provinces of police practitioners. They should have the knowledge about forensic science, commitment, bravery, and cunning work.

Forensic Significance of Touch Deoxyribonucleic Acid

Touch deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA)refers to the DNA that is left behind from skin cells when a person touches or comes into contact with an object.In crimes where the identification of suspects becomes a challenge,touch DNA has been a proven investigative tool.The present study aims to provide a systematic review of the role of touch DNAin criminal cases which discusses the nature and importance of touch DNA evidence at crime scenes;various phenomena including the transfer and persistence of touched samples;different factors affecting the touch sample deposition and DNA shedding;the best recovery methods and collection of samples from different substrates;and the interpretation of profiles through advanced techniques that identify the suspects.The present study also aims to optimize standard protocols in the laboratories for touched samples appropriate to the substrates that improve the success rate of profiles from touched items.
