Details

BloodshotNet has released an open-source model for blood detection.

The components released alongside it are as follows.

  • dataset: 23,000+ annotated images from forensic scenes, UFC footage, horror/gore films, and surgical content
  • model weights: YOLO26 small and nano variants, licensed under AGPL-3.0
  • CLI: a command-line tool that analyzes images, folders, and videos in one go

As published metrics, they presented precision of about 0.8, recall of about 0.6, and 40+ FPS on CPU for the small model.

The team explained that for video-level filtering, a sliding window over 5-10 second clips is more effective than perfect per-frame judgments. They also noted that text-prompt-based open-vocabulary models struggled to capture blood's irregular patterns, and that the YOLO26 + ProgLoss + STAL combination performed better, especially on small bloodstains and droplets.
