A photomatch connects a physical item to a photographed moment by comparing distinctive, observable details. Wear marks, repairs, stitching, material patterns and other individual features can help distinguish one item from similar examples.
The strength of a conclusion depends on the quality of the reference images, the specificity of the matching features and the treatment of contradictory evidence. A shared style or number alone is not a photomatch. Our case records show comparison images, annotated points and the research status so readers can examine the evidence. A published case may still be under review or document an exclusion; publication does not imply a verified match.
