FORMS

Forensic Marks Search

 

FORMS develops a fast, innovative method for (semi-)automatic search and retrieval of similar tool marks in criminal offenses. New data and data from unsolved crimes are brought together in a database structure and made available for query. This allows to utilise the hitherto hardly used, but enormous potential of tool marks for the investigation of crimes to be finally realised.
