Abstract

Shoeprint marks present valuable information for forensic investigators to resolve a crime. These marks can be helpful to find the brand of the shoe and can make the investigation easier. In this paper, we present an associative model-based algorithm to match noisy shoeprint patterns with a brand of shoe. The shoeprints are corrupted with additive, subtractive and mixed noises. A particular case of subtractive noise are partial shoeprints such as toe, heel, left-half and right-half prints. The Morphological Associative Memories (MAMs) were applied. Both memories, max and min, recognize noisy shoeprints corrupted with 98% additive and subtractive noise, respectively, with an effectiveness of 100%. The images corrupted with mixed noise were recognized when the additive or subtractive noise applied was greater than the mixed noise; in this case, the recalling was around 70%, otherwise, both memories failed to recognize the shoeprints.
