3D Bullet and Cartridge Cases Scans from Cadre, Quantum, and Evofinder Imaging Systems

The database consists of 3D images of bullet and cartridge cases acquired by 3D instruments manufactured by Cadre (TopMatch), Leeds (Evofinder), and LeadsOnline (Quantum). The same set of bullets and cartridge cases were imaged using each of the 3D systems.These data may be useful to anyone requiring access to a database of bullet and cartridge case 3D images for the purposes of research, training, or instrument validation, and where ground truth (provenance of each scan in the dataset) is known. In particular, individuals with an interest in forensic science, image analysis, statistics, or machine learning might find the data useful because the firearm that fired each bullet and cartridge case is known, scans were obtained with a variety of instruments, and gun, caliber and type of ammunition were controlled.
