CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0097465, filed on Aug. 4, 2020, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

One or more embodiments relate to an apparatus and method of shooting scattered blood marks at right angles.

2. Description of the Related Art

In bloodshed events, blood morphology analysis plays an important role in reconstructing the site. Because scattered blood marks tell the perpetrator's actions at the time of the hit, it is important to shoot scattered blood marks as morphological evidence in order to analyze the morphology of scattered blood marks.

When a bloodshed event occurs, scattered blood marks caused by the perpetrator's hit are often formed on the wall. Because these scattered blood marks are shot and a bleeding site at the time of the hit is estimated by analyzing the direction of a major axis and the ratio of the major axis and a minor axis, it is important to accurately shoot the scattered blood marks at right angles.

Apparatuses such as tripods and mini tripods are used to shoot scattered blood marks on the wall at right angles, but there are many inconveniences to shoot scattered blood marks generated by spreading in various directions. Because of these inconveniences, there are many cases where shooting is performed without using these apparatuses, resulting in an error during the blood morphology analysis.

Therefore, there is a need for an apparatus capable of easily and conveniently shooting scattered blood marks on the wall at right angles.

[Prior art document] Korean Patent No. 10-1588322 (registered on Jan. 19, 2016)

SUMMARY

One or more embodiments include an apparatus and a method of shooting scattered blood marks at right angles, capable of accurately shooting scattered blood marks on a target surface at right angles without using a separate device such as a tripod.

According to one or more embodiments, an apparatus for shooting scattered blood marks at right angles includes: a first body including a lens coupling portion formed to couple a camera lens and a housing portion having a hollow inside and forming an opening at one end thereof; and a second body including a surface contact portion formed to contact a target surface including scattered blood marks and an insertion portion extending from the surface contact portion and inserted into the housing portion to adjust a distance between the scattered blood marks and the camera lens.

In this case, the first body may further include an LED lighting portion located in close contact with the lens coupling portion and including at least one LED light source capable of irradiating light to the scattered blood marks.

In this case, the first body may further include an on/off switch located outside the housing portion and configured to turn on/off the LED lighting portion by a user's input.

In this case, the second body may further include a transparent plate located in close contact with the surface contact portion and displaying a measurer measuring the size of the scattered blood marks.

In this case, the second body may include a transparent material such that light may be transmitted.

In this case, the first body and the second body may each be formed in a cylindrical shape.

A method of shooting scattered blood marks at right angles according to an embodiment may include coupling a lens coupling portion of an apparatus for shooting scattered blood marks at right angles to a camera lens, contacting a surface contact portion of the apparatus with a target surface including scattered blood, adjusting a distance between the scattered blood marks and the camera lens by inserting an insertion portion of a second body of the apparatus into a housing portion of a first body of the apparatus, adjusting the focus of the camera lens and controlling on/off of an LED lighting portion, and shooting the scattered blood marks with a camera.

In this case, the method may further include measuring the size of the scattered blood marks with a measurer displayed on a transparent plate.

Additional aspects will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the presented embodiments.
