Computational Topology Techniques Help To Solve A  Long-Lasting Forensic Dilemma: Aldo Moro's Death (open access)

Computational Topology Techniques Help To Solve A Long-Lasting Forensic Dilemma: Aldo Moro's Death

The article shows how a recently-introduced method from algebraic topology, namely proximal planar vortex 1-cycles, might be helpful in detecting hidden features of the shapes and holes in images, therefore contributing to the solution of both cold and fresh forensic cases. They apply this technique in a recent case, Aldo Moro's death.
