EigenFIT – the generation of photographic-quality facial composites

چکیده
1. Abstract: The construction of facial composites by assembling individual facial features is common in criminal investigations. Arguably, the best known such method is E-FIT (electronic facial identication technique). However, although humans have excellent facial recognition ability, it is widely recognised that they often have great difficulty recalling facial characteristics in sufficient detail to produce an accurate composite. We outline and demonstrate a new method for the construction of facial composites which offers definite advantages over E-FIT and which also has implications for wider security and biometric applications.

Synthesis of Photographic Quality Facial Composites using Evolutionary Algorithms
A facial composite system is described for use in criminal investigations which has distinct advantages over current methods. Unlike traditional feature based methods, our approach uses both local and global facial models, allowing a witness to evolve plausible, photo-realistic face images in an intuitive way. The basic method combines random sampling from a facial appearance model (AM) with an...
متن کاملPhotographic facial soft tissue analysis of healthy Iranian young adults: anthropometric and angular measurements
Background :Soft tissue profile can be widely different in various populations. Furthermore, this profile can be also continues to change throughout life. However, there are few studies that quantitatively evaluate the soft tissue profile in Iranian population. In order to determine normal reference values of facial parts in our populations, we aimed to measure standards for facial soft tissu...

متن کاملA Nonlinear Grayscale Morphological and Unsupervised method for Human Facial Synthesis Based on an Example Image
Human facial generation of example image is used as a requirement for biometric applications for the purpose of identifying individuals. In this paper, face generation consists of three main steps. In the first step, detection of significant lines and edges of the example image are carried out using nonlinear grayscale morphology. Then, hair areas are identified from the face of sample. The fin...
متن کاملConfigural and featural information in facial-composite images.
Eyewitnesses are often invited to construct a facial composite, an image created of the person they saw commit a crime that is used by law enforcement to locate criminal suspects. In the current paper, the effectiveness of composite images was investigated from traditional feature systems (E-FIT and PRO-fit), where participants (face constructors) selected individual features to build the face,...
