Abstract
This paper presents a forensic perspective way of recognizing the weapons by processing wound patterns using ensemble learning that gives an effective forensic computational approach for the distinguished weapons used in most of crime cases. This will be one of the computational and effective substitutes to investigate the weapons used in crime, the methodology uses the collective wound patterns images from the human body for the recognition. The ensemble learning used in this proposed methodology improves the accuracy of machine learning methods by combining several methods and predicting the final accuracy by meta-classifier. It has given better recognition process compared to single individual model and the traditional method. Ensemble learning is more flexible in function and is better in the wound pattern recognition and their respective weapons as it overcomes the issue to overfit training data. The result achieved for weapon recognition based on wound patterns is 98.34%, from existing database of 800 images of pattern consisting of wounds of stabbed and gunshots. The authenticated experiments out-turns the preeminence of projected method over the widespread feature extraction approach considered in the work and also compares and suggest the false positive recognition verses false negative recognition. The proposed methodology has given better results compared to traditional method and will be helpful in forensic and crime investigation.
