Method for measuring human cartilage endochrome and application of human cartilage endochrome in forensic medicine

The invention belongs to the technical field of forensic humans, and particularly relates to a method for determining human cartilage endochrome and application of the human cartilage endochrome in forensic medicine. An in-vitro cartilage section image is obtained by using a scanner, and image processing software is used for obtaining a pigmentation quantification method of an average gray value of an image. A linear model based on human cartilage endochrome quantification and age correlation is established. The method disclosed by the invention is simple and convenient to operate, low in costand high in accuracy, has very high forensic value, and can be popularized in forensic practice. 本发明属于法医人类学技术领域，具体涉及一种人软骨内色素的测定方法及其在法医学上的应用。本发明中使用扫描仪获得离体的软骨切面图像，使用图像处理软件获得图像平均灰度值的色素沉着定量方法；并建立了基于人软骨内色素定量与年龄相关性的线性模型。本发明测定方法操作简便，成本低，准确性高，具有非常高的法医学价值，可以在法医实践上进行推广。
