Forensic Biometrics from Images and Video at the Federal Bureau of Investigation

Abstract
|
Forensic examiners within FBI's Forensic Audio, Video and Image Analysis Unit(FAVIAU) perform forensic examinations such as human identification (from image and video) including facial comparison, ear comparison, hand comparison, and height determination. Examinations are performed without the assistance of automated biometric applications.Due to the high volume of casework, it is anticipated that automated biometrics could enhance the examination workflow to increase efficiency, as well as provide statistics and rates of probability that can be presented in court. To develop such biometric systems, FAVIAU funded research projects concerning facial and ear individualization.Further research concerning facial, ear, and hand biometrics are in the preliminary planning stages
