Score-based likelihood ratios for barefootprint evidence using deep learning features.

As the court put forward higher requirements for quantitative evaluation and scientific standards of forensic evidence, how to objectively and scientifically express identification opinions has become a challenge for traditional forensic identification methods. Score-based likelihood ratios are mathematical methods for quantitative evaluation of forensic evidence. However, due to the subtle differences in inter-class barefootprints, there is no automatic barefootprints matching algorithm with high accuracy under large-scale dataset validation, and there are few studies related to deep learning barefootprint features for evidence evaluation in court.
