Forthcoming and Online First Articles

International Journal of Forensic Engineering

International Journal of Forensic Engineering (IJFE)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Image averaging and shape recognition in forensic analysis of video evidence   Order a copy of this article
    by Geoffrey T. Desmoulin, Mark Nolette, Theodore E. Milner 
    Abstract: Averaging of raw images obtained from single frames of a body worn camera was used to illustrate the ability of averaging to significantly reduce the noise present in a single video frame. The outline the subject in the averaged image was then compared to outlines of a different subject adopting four similar postures, which included one posture that mimicked the posture of the first subject (reference posture). Using Hausdorff distance as a measure of shape similarity, it was possible to demonstrate that the outline of the second subject was most similar to the outline of the reference posture when the second subject mimicked the reference posture. Despite the similarity of the four postures, the Hausdorff distance was at least 50% less when the second subject mimicked the reference posture than for any of the other postures.
    Keywords: image averaging; image shape recognition; video analysis; shape difference measure; posture analysis.
