Detecting Wear Among 3D Shoe Objects

Shoe analysis is frequently used as part of forensic analysis. However, dealing with time, the wear of the sole and its features can be difficult. Here we present a method for extracting the wear between two 3D scans of a single shoe after some amount of use, using an iterative alignment process, in order to discover matching methods after a large amount of wear. Initial processing transforms a Standard Triangle Language (stl) 3D object, into a triangle mesh before alignment. Read more →
