The learning objectives of this presentation include the following: Introduce an objective method to quantify the similarity between two outsole impressions, show that this algorithm is accurate and reliable even when outsoles share class characteristics and degree of wear, and show that this algorithm is robust even when one image is degraded and partially observed.

A database of two-dimensional images of footwear outsole impressions
Footwear outsole images were obtained from 150 pairs of used shoes. The motivation for constructing the database was to enable a statistical analysis of two-dimensional (2D) images of shoe outsoles,…
