Abstract: Systems and methods for producing a forensic storyboard that includes visual details of a criminal case. A forensic storyboard may be created from data within a forensic database. The forensic storyboard may be provided to a user through an interactive database. A user may be able to revise the forensic storyboard through the interactive webpage. A forensic storyboard may be output to a standalone file. A forensic storyboard may be used by an investigator to communicate details of a forensic investigation to superiors, colleagues, partners, other agencies, prosecutors, or judges.

Abstract: There are described methods and system for determining a similarity or distance measure between a first ballistic specimen and a second ballistic specimen. The method comprises acquiring topographic data from the first ballistic specimen and the second ballistic specimen of at least one region of interest; computing from the topographic data at least one similarity score s for the first ballistic specimen and the second ballistic specimen; determining a non-match probability measure of the similarity score for at least one parameter characterizing a macroscopic and/or microscopic feature of the topographic data, the non-match probability measure associating the first ballistic specimen and the second ballistic specimen to a different source; and correcting the similarity score by determining a corrected similarity score that yields a same value of the non-match probability measure as the similarity score for a reference value of the at least one parameter.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a cloud computing system and database management for forensic criminal investigations. The cloud computing system may produce a visual representation of various digital interactions between various individuals. These digital interactions, for example, may include phone calls, text messages, emails, social media messages or posts, etc. between a first individual and a second individual. The visual representation, for example, may be provided on a webpage. The visual representation, for example, may graphically represent a relationship between the first individual and the second individual.
