Abstract

Footwear outsoles acquire characteristics unique to the individual wearing\nthem over time. Forensic scientists largely rely on their skills and knowledge,\ngained through years of experience, to analyse such characteristics on a\nshoeprint. In this work, we present a convolutional neural network model that\ncan predict the wear pattern on a unique dataset of shoeprints that captures\nthe life and wear of a pair of shoes. We present an additional architecture\nable to reconstruct the outsole back to its original state on a given week, and\nprovide empirical evaluations of the performance of both models.\n
