Abstract(in English) Although estimation of postmortem time is important for criminal investigation or sudden in-hospital death in the middle of the night, the accuracy of estimation is not high enough because the estimation is done by observation from the outside of the body and antemortem medical records in Japan. Furthermore the estimation depends on medical doctors' subjectivity and their experiences. In this study, we developed a method for estimating an objective and highly accurate postmortem time for Autopsy imaging (Ai) CT images. The method we developed extracted features by using autoencoder which is one of the Deep Learning techniques. As a result of the experiment, the mean absolute error between the actual and estimated postmortem time was 1.64 hours. It was shown that the proposed method had higher accuracy comparing with the method based on texture analysis.
