New Practice for Standard Practice for Scanning of Facial Images
1. Scope
This guideline provides best practices for scanning documents containing images for Facial Recognition enrollment or Facial Image Comparisons.
1.2. This guide is for instances in which a printed image requires capture for enrollment into a Facial Recognition system or by facial examiners undertaking a facial image comparison.
1.3. This guide will not provide information on original image capture, printing resolution, image enhancements that may have occurred prior to a facial image being printed, or during preparation of a facial image for the creation of identity documents.
1.4. This guide acknowledges that in Appendix F of IAFIS-DOC-01078-9.3 the minimum scanner testing requirements are provided, and notes that whilst the core capabilities and attributes for a fingerprint scanner are similar, there are crucial differences for scanning an optimal facial image.
1.5. This guide also acknowledges that there is a list of certified fingerprint scanners on the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) website , and notes that some of these scanners are capable of gray scale and full color scanning.
