Abstract

In Chinese forensic science, a three-dimensional footprint can provide us lots of information, such as sex, age and gait. Dig-imprint is one of the impressions in three-dimensional footprints that can show the biometric. However, the three-dimensional footprints are still analyzed artificially by forensic investigators, which is inefficient and subjective. In this research an algorithm for the automatic detection of dig-imprints of three-dimensional footprints was developed. Haar-like and LBP features were extracted from the dataset. Next, two classifiers were constructed with Adaboost algorithm using these two features. A dig-imprint database is constructed for evaluating the performance of the proposed method. Pictures of three-dimensional footprints were taken by the way of criminal scene photography. Then the dig-imprints were cut out as positive samples. The negative samples were also cut out from three-dimensional footprints. Experimental results shows that the proposed method achieves good detection accuracy.
