| Abstract | One main goal of today's forensic textile fiber analysis is the classification of fiber traces. This can be achieved by forensic experts in manual analysis with the help of microscopy. However, this examination process, including an optical matching, is due to its manual nature very time consuming and therefore cost intensive. Considering that, we want to support forensic experts during the complex process of trace examination by adding signal processing methods for analysis and decision-making. In this paper we propose the introduction of computer-aided methods to speed up the process and make it more objective in terms of comparability of results and overall transparency. In our approach a 3D laser scanning microscope for surface measurement is utilized for contactless acquisition of physical textile fiber traces. Distinctive optical features are derived from digital images. Based on these distinguishing characteristics a matching process is introduced for the assignment to associated classes or categories. In this paper we utilize template matching methods in order to associate samples to different fiber types. The suitability of these methods is evaluated in context of forensic textile fiber authentication based on a first test-set composed of 45 samples divided in 3 classes. Our first experimental results show that fibers can be correctly assigned to their corresponding class based on template matching. However, the overall matching accuracy achieved here is only about 44% in an equally distributed 3-class-problem. The achieved matching results based on our newly designed feature set are momentarily not satisfying and thus require improvements, mainly by the design of new, discriminatory features. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
