Abstract

A technical overview of the Integrated Ballistic Identification System image acquisition hardware, image storage, case data input, `surface signature' analysis, and correlation scoring to an image database is described. Pilot evaluations by law enforcement, the impact of this technology in actual laboratory use, and the future use of a portable instrument in the field crime scene is also presented.
