Fractal Surfaces as Models of Physical Matches

CODEN: JFSCAS

Abstract

Computer-generated fractal surfaces may be used as models of evidence physical matches. The complexity of the model surface, and by extension, the degree of uniqueness of the surface, may be expressed in terms of the time required for the calculation of the surface parameters.
