What is BALEX (Ballistic Expert) ®? 

BALEX (Ballistic Expert) is an innovative software in the ballistic forensic field. Its main function is to perform external ballistic analysis.

From ballistic projectile hole photos on a surface, the 3D trajectories are calculated to determine the trajectories origin area.

BALEX (Ballistic Expert) ® Main Features 

 

1. Automatic Trajectory Analysis::

  • BALEX uses advanced technology to determine the projectile trajectory, using semi-automatic calculations based on the impact photos.
  • Allows to identify the origin area of the ballistic trajectories

2. Forensic Photography and 3D Reconstruction:

  • Allows you to calibrate crime scene photos, according to the specific software requirements.
  • It facilitates 3D scene reconstruction, which helps to locate the trajectories origin area.
  • 3D scenes can be exported to OBJ format, allowing their use in other 3D editing software.

3. Templates & Scene Preparation:

  • It provides printable PDF templates, which help in collecting the necessary data and preparing the scene prior to the photo shoot.
  • Ensures that photos are taken with the accuracy required for subsequent analysis.

4. Trajectory management:

  • Allows to deactivate trajectories that visually do not belong to shot groups of the same origin.
  • It provides the option to scale the trajectory lengths, depending on the scene, to adjust the convergence of the origin area calculations.

5. Report Generation:

  • Collects all information from the scene analysis and generates a complete report in PDF format.
  • The reports are designed to be professionally presented, facilitating the forensic experts’ work.

Benefits for Ballistic Forensic Experts

  • Efficiency & Accuracy: the software allows detailed and accurate analysis to be performed in the laboratory, minimizing time and effort at the crime scene.
  • Comfort: by focusing solely on taking photos at the scene, experts can work more comfortably and efficiently.
  • Flexibility: the possibility of exporting the 3D reconstruction to other editing software, allows greater flexibility and customization in the simulation of the scene.
  • Professional Documentation: the reports generated in PDF ensure a clear and professional presentation of the results, essential for legal proceedings.

BALEX represents a significant advance in the field of forensic ballistics, providing advanced tools for the analysis and crime scene reconstruction with high accuracy and efficiency.
