New Practice for Image Processing to Improve Automated Facial Recognition Search Performance

1. Scope

1.1 This practice describes the steps to process a probe image to maximize the likelihood that a facial recognition system (FRS) search returns a potential candidate. 1.2 This process is not suitable for developing source conclusions regarding an image. The practice does not address the necessary steps and processes for that type of examination. 1.3 This guide cannot replace the requisite knowledge, skills, or abilities acquired through appropriate education, training, and experience and should be used in conjunction with sound professional judgment. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
