furthering investigations with facial recognition and ForensicaGPS, Animetrics’ new
facial identity biometric solution
•Conclusion

3. Animetrics Key Info

4. 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

5. Investigative Face: Use Cases

6. Rapid Growth of Video & Photo
Face Biometric Evidence Available
Capturing face
biometric data is not
the problem – being
able to use it for fast
and accurate identity
resolution is!

7. Facial Imagery Objective:
Control the Uncontrolled
• For Visualization
• For Accuracy in
Computerized Face
Recognition Systems
(“Lights out”)
ISO/IEC 19794-5 
Standard Guidelines

8. Facial Imagery Objective:
Control the Uncontrolled
Over 45% of faces seen by witnesses and …”Lights Out” face reco solutions struggle
victims are NOT FRONTAL FACIAL VIEWS… to resolve identity of these images

9. For Frontal Controlled Facial Imagery
Facial Imagery Objective: Control the Uncontrolled
Face Recognition ID Rates have improved

10. 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

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