My thesis “Computer Vision methods applicable to Forensic Science” presents three Computer Vision methods that can be applied in forensic investigations: one for photogrammetry, which allows measurement of objects heights in single images; a multiview stereo framework for the recovery of 3D footwear impressions; and a method for image reconstruction from a collection of small unordered fragments using a quadratic programming formulation.
