TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Research advances in forensic diatom testing JO - Forensic sciences research A1 - Zhou, Yuanyuan A1 - Cao, Yongjie A1 - Huang, Jiao A1 - Deng, Kaifei A1 - Ma, Kaijun A1 - Zhang, Tianye A1 - Chen, Liqin A1 - Zhang, Ji A1 - Huang, Ping SP - 98 EP - 105 VL - 5 IS - 2 N2 - In forensic practice, it is difficult to determine whether a dead body in the water resulted from drowning or from disposal after death. Diatom testing is currently an important supporting technique for the determination of death by drowning and of drowning sites, even though it is a time-consuming and laborious task. This article reviews the development of diatom testing over the decades and discusses a new method for the potential application of deep learning in diatom testing.
