Reassembly technologies

• Computer-based reassembly

  • Magnified optical scanners (both sides)
  • Characterization of color, paper type, tool marks, locations of edge lines, etc. gives a good depiction of a shred
  • Matching of characteristics of edges leads to linear characterization time and sub-linear search time
  • Highly parallel algorithms lead to linear increase in speed with processors
  • Search space very large for small shreds
