Automatic cartridge case comparison algorithms can be used to measure the similarity between two fired cartridge cases. However, many of these algorithms are difficult to interpret, understand, and audit. We introduce a suite of visual diagnostic tools that are useful for understanding the behavior of automatic comparison algorithms and introduce a novel algorithm that returns a probability that two cartridge cases originated from the same firearm. The live event will take place on Wednesday, March 29, 11:00 AM-Noon CT. Register now to reserve your seat! |

This research poster was presented at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences annual conference in 2023. An interactive poster is available for your viewing. We were interested in creating diagnostic tools that help explain the behavior of automatic cartridge case comparison algorithms. Our results indicate that the visual diagnostics can be used to intuitively assess the similarity between two cartridge cases and predict the similarity score output by a comparison algorithm. |

This webinar is on-demand and available immediately. While firearms comparison evidence is commonly used in criminal cases, we have seen a recent and growing resurgence of judicial skepticism of firearms comparison evidence. These recent rulings, responding to scientific critiques, followed, however, many decades of near-universal acceptance of the evidence. We analyze the path of judicial rulings in this important area of forensic evidence. |
