  • Title: Content based information retrieval in forensic image databases.
    Author: Geradts Z, Bijhold J.
    Journal: J Forensic Sci; 2002 Mar; 47(2):285-92. PubMed ID: 11908596.
    Abstract:
    This paper gives an overview of the various available image databases and ways of searching these databases on image contents. The developments in research groups of searching in image databases is evaluated and compared with the forensic databases that exist. Forensic image databases of fingerprints, faces, shoeprints, handwriting, cartridge cases, drugs tablets, and tool marks are described. The developments in these fields appear to be valuable for forensic databases, especially that of the framework in MPEG-7, where the searching in image databases is standardized. In the future, the combination of the databases (also DNA-databases) and possibilities to combine these can result in stronger forensic evidence.
