What is the AMIS Shot?
AMIS Shot makes it possible to identify weapons by bullets and shells recovered from a crime scene with the purpose of efficiently solving criminal cases. Implementation of the system by law-enforcement agencies results in a considerable improvement of the clearance rate and improves the overall security of the civil society.Why do I need it?
AMIS Shot lets you create electronic bullet and shell casing repositories containing tens and hundreds of thousands of objects and dramatically improves the quality of trace examination of shot bullets, their fragments and shells when investigating crimes committed with the use of firearms.How does it work?
AMIS Shot is able to solve some of the following problems:- Creation of automated databases of bullets and shells from weapons registered with law enforcement agencies
- Creation of automated databases of bullets and shells found at crime scenes
- Automation of search operations aimed at identifying weapons by traces on shot bullets and shells
- Automation of comparative examination of bullets and shells when working with databases and performing the analysis of recommendation lists based on search results
- Automation of the process of documenting the results of examinations
Who uses it?
AMIS Shot has been deployed in variety of law enforcement organizations across the world.Mathematical algorithms of AMIS Shot
AMIS Shot uses a high-precision algorithm based on years of forensic practice to encode and recognize images. The proprietary technique used in the software for processing complex image-related information (2D+3D) when comparing the traces of the striker pin considerably improved the selectiveness of this type of search. Here are just some of the program features:- Creation of four database arrays: registered bullets, registered shells, criminal bullets, criminal shells.
- Separation of weapons being registered by registration types (combat, duty or service weapon, etc).
- Scanning of the side surface of bullets/shells, shell bottom surface, traces from the shell casing and deformed bullets.
- Automatic recognition of traces on the shell bottom and support of manual correction by an expert.
- Interactive selection of traces on the side surface of the shell.
- Storage of images in a database, WSQ image compression.
- Creation of profiles and 3D images of object surfaces.
- Automatic database search by each recognized trace.
