Abstract: We present a method for extracting three-dimensional flight trajectories of liquid droplets from video data. A high-speed stereo camera pair records videos of experimental reconstructions of projectile impacts and ensuing droplet scattering. After background removal and segmentation of individual droplets in each video frame, we introduce a model-based matching technique to accumulate image paths for individual droplets. Our motion detection algorithm is designed to deal gracefully with the lack of feature points, with the similarity of droplets in shape, size, and color, and with incomplete droplet paths due to noise, occlusions, etc. The final reconstruction algorithm pairs two-dimensional paths accumulated from each of the two cameras’ videos to reconstruct trajectories in three dimensions. The reconstructed droplet trajectories constitute a starting point for a physically accurate model of blood droplet flight for forensic bloodstain pattern analysis.
