The recovery of footwear impression in crime scenes plays an important role in investigations to corroborate or refute information, or to narrow down the number of suspects. Casting 3D footwear impressions is a long-standing standard to obtain the 3D models of the prints, slowly being replaced by a less invasive method, 3D scanning. In this project, we research an alternative method based on multiview stereo.
