automated ballistic identification systems

Introduction. Identification of firearms by traces on the shot bullets is one of the most difficult tasks in the forensic ballistic examination. This is because the individual characteristics of weapons that appear on shot bullets have a high degree of variability. The currently used methods of automatic identification of firearms are ineffective when analysis is carried out on electronic bullet repository which includes tens of thousands of similar objects. Methods.

n work classification of the basic types of deformations of the bullets caused by blow about a strong barrier is considered. Deformations at which traces on the shot bullets can be recognized restrictedly by suitable to identification are defined. The algorithm of comparative research of traces on the deformed bullets is offered at weapon identification.
