APPLICATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF 3D TECHNOLOGY, ALGORITHMS, AND STATISTICS FOR FORENSIC FIREARM AND TOOLMARK ANALYSIS 3

This workshop aims to provide forensic practitioners, laboratory managers, legal personnel, and researchers with knowledge of emerging tools and technologies for forensic firearm and toolmark analysis. Training topics include the theory behind different styles of microscopes for measuring three dimensional (3D) toolmark topography, measurement quality assurance, data processing methods, quantitative toolmark similarity metrics, statistical frameworks for estimating the strength of the evidence, and virtual comparison microscopy. Participants will learn about the advantages and current limitations of these emerging technologies, and about strategies for their implementation in casework.
