The development of forensic methods and technologies for studying incident circumstances requires investigations of shot traces and simulation of gas-gunpowder jet spreading. The possibility of determining the shot distance by using computer vision methods on the basis of the distribution function of optical density in a digital photograph of the target with shot traces is substantiated in this article. A technique for mathematical processing of digital photographs of targets is developed. The possibility of estimating the amount of soot generated by a shot and its distribution on a target on the basis of a digital photograph of the latter is theoretically and mathematically justified and experimentally validated. It is shown that the integrated optical density averaged over a selected area in the target image characterizes the mass of the soot material. The validity of the proposed approach is confirmed by an experiment. The possibility of identifying the patterns of the shot product distributions on the target surface depending on the shot distance is proved
