Important results from the project
Most goals were met: reliable UAV/sensor selection, mapping and detection algorithms, multimodal sensing, several demonstrators, published papers and presentations to stakeholders. The project created major synergies with the Police and NFC, spinoff funding applications, and expanded Sweden’s visibility in forensic AI. Results have long-term impact for CSI, inspection and emergency response, setting the foundation for future drone research in several fields.
Expected long term effects
The project has created a sustainable research pipeline with the Police and NFC for co-creating research that translates AI/UAV innovations into real forensic practice. The methodologies developed in multispectral sensing, mapping, reconstruction and blood-analysis can mature into next-generation CSI tools, while feeding into future education/research. The outcomes also support broader areas, such as inspection, emergency response, and security, strengthening Sweden’s position in AI.
Approach and implementation
The project adhered to the planned structure, which included hardware/sensor integration, data collection, and AI-based mapping and detection. Activities were appropriate, and the collaboration with the Police and the NFC worked very well. Some delays occurred due to hardware integration issues and recruitment difficulties, but despite these challenges, the planned scientific tasks and demonstrators were successfully delivered.
