Animetrics Key Info
Investigative Face: Defined
• Facial Identification (FI) – The manual examination of the differences and similarities between facial images to determine if they represent different or same person
• Facial Recognition (FR) – The automated searching of a facial image in a computer database, resulting in a group of facial images ranked or scored by computer evaluated similarity
• Image-based Recognition – The automated searching of features (ears, hands, blemishes, and scars, marks and tatoos, in a computer database.
- FBI
Investigative Face: Use Cases
Capturing face biometric data is not the problem – being able to use it for fast and accurate identity resolution is!
Rapid Growth of Video & PhotoFace Biometric Evidence Available
• For Visualization• For Accuracy in Computerized Face Recognition Systems (“Lights out”)
Facial Imagery Objective:Control the Uncontrolled
ISO/IEC 19794-5 Standard Guidelines
Facial Imagery Objective:Control the Uncontrolled
Over 45% of faces seen by witnesses and victims are NOT FRONTAL FACIAL VIEWS…
…”Lights Out” face reco solutions struggle to resolve identity of these images
For Frontal Controlled Facial ImageryFacial Imagery Objective: Control the Uncontrolled
Face Recognition ID Rates have improved
Animetrics Perspective
FR System are Good and Getting Better But…•Unable to consistently verify/match to courtroom standards •Effective w/ “controlled facial imagery” but not w/ uncontrolled • Law enforcement (LE) and Intelligence community (IC) rarely deal with controlled data
There is a Need for New Investigative Face Biometric Tools •Allows LE/IC to interpret uncontrolled facial images – off pose or low resolution – consistently w/more precision
– Make uncontrolled data “ID ready” and admissible in FR systems
– Feature robust forensic analysis and visualization tools– Provide manual and visual Face Identification (FI) - matching
and comparison

Summary: ForensicaGPS
Breakthrough 2D to-3D facial forensic analysis tool enabling identity resolution of photographic evidence from face-video surveillance footage •Takes images, improves resolution and creates full 3D facial models for complete visualization of the subject’s facial structure, geometry and texture•Provides controls that allow metric analysis with face similarity scoring•Up to five images of each subject can be compared to the other subject facial images•Helps investigator make uncontrolled images ID ready
Face Visualization& Normalization• Edit, enhance the photograph or video
frame of a difficult facial image for further analysis and processing
• Transforms 2D facial image and creates a full 3D model for normalization and visualization w/pose correction
• Features embedded GPS – a built in global positioning system of the face – correlating all 2D (x,y) positions to their corresponding 3D (x,y,z) positions
• A pre-process to doing facial search w/FaceR Identity Management or criminal database search to achieve results
• Faces out of pose range on most 2D FR systems can now be identified with the use of ForensicaGPS
Comparative & Matching• Comparative tools enable analysis and
comparison of multiple images. • Comparative tools deliver detailed 2D
and 3D facial analysis
