PRESS RELEASE - for immediate release
It has long been accepted that pattern recognition is the way forward in footwear identification. Our team here at CSI have for many months been developing automatic recognition for inclusion within TreadMark together with a library of footwear images from around the world, not just UK and USA like other manufacturers.
The goal is to reduce to an absolute minimum, the amount of user intervention in identifying the footwear.
The new TreadMark system breaks down images of marks lifted from crime scenes and footwear recovered from criminals into their individual features. It then uses powerful algorithms to compare these with features in our library to identify the shoe.
However the new TreadMark goes much further inasmuch as it can search against other images in the system, enabling scene-to-scene and scene-to-criminal, footwear matching.
Current users of the TreadMark system will have this facility installed on their systems once new protocols have been completed and issued.
