Footwear impression evidence has been gaining increasing importance in forensic investigation. The most challenging task for a forensic examiner is to work with highly degraded footwear marks and match them to the most similar footwear print available in the database. Retrieval process from a large database can be made significantly faster if the database footwear prints are clustered beforehan...

Methods have been used for identification of human by recognizing lip prints. Human lips have a number of elevation and depressions features called lip prints and examination of lip prints is referred to as cheiloscopy. Lip prints of each human being are unique in nature like many others features of human. In this paper lip print is first smoothened using a Gaussian Filter. Next Sobel Edge Dete...

Daguerreotypes are sharply defined, highly reflective, one-of-a-kind photographs on silver-coated copper plates, packaged behind glass and kept in protective cases. Introduced in 1839 by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, the daguerreotype process was the first commercially successful photographic process, and is distinguished by a remarkable clarity of pictorial detail. Daguerreotypes were popular ...

The PRINTS database houses a collection of protein family fingerprints. These are groups of motifs that together are diagnostically more potent than single motifs by virtue of the biological context afforded by matching motif neighbours. Around 1200 fingerprints have now been created and stored in the database. The September 1999 release (version 24.0) encodes approximately 7200 motifs, coverin...

lasting than others, the stability requirements for boards and papers will vary correspondingly. With color materials, both the type of print and whether or not it will be subjected to light fading during prolonged display will determine the stability requirements of the mount board. With Ilford Ilfochrome prints (called Cibachrome prints, 1963–1991), Kodak Dye Transfer prints, and Fuji Dyecolo...

Naturalness is a complex concept and number of parameters might impact naturalness perception. In this work, we addressed how the combination different elevation levels size prints impacts perception 2.5D prints. The results subjective ranking experiment showed that observers perceived as more natural at higher with larger print. Moreover, observed seems to be dominant parameter than print for ...
