4. Investigative Face
Identifying subjects, fugitives, missing
persons and persons of interest by using
FR systems
– Law enforcement (LE) and Gov’t sources
..DMVs, DHS, Intelligence Community(IC)
– Open sources such as Facebook, Google
– Images from video / camera evidence
-FBI

5. Rapid Growth of Video & Photo
Facial Imagery Evidence Available
Capturing face biometric
data is not the problem –
being able to use it for
fast and accurate identity
resolution is!
Facial Images are
UNCONTROLLED
biometrics

6. Other Biometric Capture Sensors Are Very Controlling

7. The Problem for Facial Imagery:
To Control the Uncontrolled
• For Visualization
• For Accuracy in
Computerized Face
Recognition Systems
(“Lights out”)
• Important for
Enrollment , i.e. at
Booking
ISO/IEC 19794-5
Standard Guidelines

8. Face Recognition Performance
Has Improved Significantly
<=
99.7% ID RATE

9. Uncontrolled Facial Imagery Fails!
Over 45% of faces seen by
witnesses and victims are NOT
FRONTAL FACIAL VIEWS…
…”Lights Out” face reco solutions
struggle to resolve identity

10. The Requirements
Investigative face biometric technology enables LE/IC to
interpret uncontrolled facial images
1. Make uncontrolled data “ID ready” and more admissible in FR system
• Off pose and low resolution face images should be corrected
2. Requires high performance “Lights Out” backend FR system for high
capacity enrolled facial databases
3. Able to gather facial imagery remote, mobile, and video
4. Feature robust analysis and visualization tools
5. Provide manual and visual Face Identification (FI) - matching and
comparison

Disruptive Technology….
• Uses existing and all digital cameras
• Improves accuracy
– Compensates for NON FRONTAL
facial imagery
– Adjusts facial lighting…bright light or
low light
– Utilizes the face geometry both 2D
and 3D

16. Investigative Face
at Work: PA JNET
Case: Philly PD & FBI
• Detective sent a photo to JNET FR database
• Individual target of Squad 2/Violent Gang & Drug
Task Force investigation
• PD - B/M, approx 5'5", 150 lbs 23 y/o, Area –
Germantown/Philadelphia vicinity
• Image was searched in JNET FR system
• Match found & sent to detective and agent for
confirmation
PA Office of Attorney General

•
AG sent image to JNET of individual sitting on
bench in urban area.
With JNET FR, office was able to crop the photo
Used ForensicaGPS 3D tools & pose correction
create a face forward pose and make “FR ID ready”
Image was searched w/JNET FR system confirmed
hit was in the top five of one of the result scans

CROP
MATCH FOUND
Out of 3.5M
