Transcript of Animetrics Webinar: How Law Enforcement is Closing Cases with Face Biometric Technology
Introduction
Webinar:
How Law Enforcement is Closing Cases with Face Biometric Technology
How Pennsylvania police are identifying suspects and furthering
investigations with facial recognition and ForensicaGPS, Animetrics’
new facial identity biometric solution
Hosts
• Paul Schuepp, Animetrics, President and CEO
• Sean Doucette, Animetrics, Systems Engineer
Animetrics Key Info
• Headquartered in Conway, NH
• Dr. Michael I. Miller – Chairman, Chief Scientist & Founder; Director Center for Imaging Science, Johns Hopkins
• Paul Schuepp – CEO/President
About
• Advanced facial recognition biometrics for military, DOD intelligence, homeland security, law enforcement
Focus
• “Lights Out Face” – Facial identity management solutions and 3D facial recognition applications
• “Investigative face” – Forensic facial biometric solutions Solutions
• Patented 2D to 3D face recognition
• Facial identity management cloud solution - web (FR) services architecture & cloud database
Technology
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
• Identifying subjects, fugitives, missing persons and person’s of interest by using FR systems – Law enforcement (LE) and govt sources (DMV)
– Open sources
– Images in seized systems – video recorder or camera (evidence)
• Tracking subjects to and from critical events (Homeland security – 9/11 etc)
• Automatic surveillance at lookout locations
• Verifying mug shots against National Criminal Information (NCIC) records
-FBI
Capturing face
biometric data is not
the problem – being
able to use it for fast
and accurate identity
resolution is!
Rapid Growth of Video & Photo Face 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 Imagery Facial 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

Animetrics’ Investigative Face Solutions
• Investigative Face Biometric Solution for Law Enforcement, Homeland Security, Intelligence Community
• Enables identity resolution of facial images in video or photo surveillance
– Translates low resolution or uncontrolled facial images from 2D to 3D renderings
– Visualization and normalization tools make images “ID Ready” for manual comparison or enrollment in FR systems
– Comparative tools deliver detailed 2D and 3D facial analysis enhancing the speed and accuracy of criminal investigations
Facts Partners • BI2 Technologies (US Sheriffs)
• Dataworks Plus (US Police & Prisons)
• UMC Switzerland
• UNIDAS Germany
Deployments • Initial limited release of ForensicaGPS
in US, Europe and Middle East
• Zurich Forensic Police Department (Switzerland) and police departments in Saudi Arabia. Qatar and UAE
• Deployed by PA law enforcement as part of state-wide web-based FR system

Case Study: Real Life Proof…
Pose Normalization Works!!
Before No Match Found
After Matches Found !!
Case Study: PA JNET
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
Case Study: PA JNET
US Postal Agents • The US Postal Inspectors suspected individuals of sending and
receiving drugs in mail.
• undercover agent took picture of individual suspected of receiving
drugs.
• Agent used JNET system w/ ForensicaGPS & its 3D analysis ,
nomralization to:”make ID ready”
• Image successfullly enrolled and searched in JNET FR system
• Agent able to identify the suspect from results
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
