ShoeCase: A data set of mock crime scene footwear impressions
This project’s main objective is to create an open-source database containing a sizeable number of high-quality images of shoe impressions. The Center for Statistics and Applications in Forensic Evidence (CSAFE)…
A finely tuned deep transfer learning algorithm to compare outsole images
In forensic practice, evaluating shoeprint evidence is challenging because the differences between images of two different outsoles can be subtle. In this paper, we propose a deep transfer learning-based matching…
An automated alignment algorithm for identification of the source of footwear impressions with common class characteristics
We introduce an algorithmic approach designed to compare similar shoeprint images, with automated alignment. Our method employs the Iterative Closest Points (ICP) algorithm to attain optimal alignment, further enhancing precision…
