• This paper discusses the use of a fully connected neural network to classify images of firing pin impressions. The purpose of this work is to investigate the effectiveness of clone images of firing pin impressions in improving the quality of training of fully connected neural networks. Another purpose of the work is to estimate the accuracy of multigroup classification of firing pin impressions left by different firearms by using a neural network. The scientific novelty of this work is in the use of augmentation for creating images of firing pin impressions to increase the number of objects in the training dataset and to artificially improve the feature diversity of objects of each class. The conducted investigation shows that the accuracy of classification of the analyzed objects reaches approximately 84% for a fixed value of the classification criterion and 94–98% when the classification is carried out based on three maximum signals on output neurons. The work is of interest to developers of automated ballistic identification systems.
