Reliable Identification Through Facial Recognition Technology

Digital mugshots are typically stored in an electronic database and can be used to create lineups for investigative purposes and witness viewings. However, a person’s appearance may change over time, and multiple images of the same individual may appear completely different from one another. DataWorks Plus’ FACE Plus uses the latest in facial recognition technology to positively match photos of an individual by identifying key characteristics of the facial image. The system can be added as a module to our Digital PhotoManager or SAF-ID solutions. With FACE Plus you will be able to search against any size database to identify an individual regardless of factors such as hair color, glasses, and image background.

Benefits of FACE Plus

FACE Plus is a versatile tool with numerous applications within Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice, and Correctional Agencies. Some of the benefits of FACE Plus include:

  • Discovering a person’s identity during investigations through one-to-many searches.
  • Checking images at intake, release, and transport or for inmate identity verification in jail environments. Existing data can be instantly filled into the demographic data fields to speed up the booking process when a match is found.
  • Checking images against your watch-list database to help identify wanted individuals.
  • Mobile facial recognition by using images captured from an officer’s smart phone or camera.
  • Identifying individuals from video surveillance footage.

We have focused on our customer’s requests and have created scalable and customizable solutions that will meet your agency’s specific needs at the lowest possible cost. Whether you have a database of one thousand or hundreds of thousands of images, FACE Plus is scalable so that results can be obtained within seconds. As your agency changes over time in size or structure, the system can be customized to meet the configuration of your agency to protect your investments. DataWorks Plus will work with your agency to maximize the efficiency and productivity of FACE Plus for you.

How FACE Plus Works:

When you capture a mugshot, the system performs an automated quality check and creates a facial template. The template and facial image are stored for immediate and future ID searches. FACE Plus can perform both one-to-one (1:1) and one-to-many (1:N) searches. A one-to-one (1:1) search will verify that an individual is the person he or she claims to be. A one-to-many (1:N) will identify the individual by searching the entire database to find if any positive matches exist. When FACE Plus finds a positive match, any results of the facial recognition search will be displayed for image comparison. The user can view each retrieved record with the additional photos and data for further verification.

Integrated Functionality

FACE Plus not only provides rapid identification for investigations and booking, but enhances the functionality of other DataWorks Plus products as well. When FACE Plus is used in conjunction with DataWorks Plus’ SAF-ID fingerprint identification system, records retrieved from a positive match to the submitted fingerprint will also display additional results from facial matches. This works well for officers in the field who are using mobile devices. With FACE Plus, mobile devices with camera functionality can also be used to capture facial images at any place or time and query an agency’s database for positive matches. By serving as a fully integrated identification tool, FACE Plus will allow you to perform in seconds what would take hours or even days using traditional methods.

FACE Plus facial recognition results These results are all of the same individual, all from different arrests. FACE Plus uses facial templates to find matches to existing facial images in your database. Weight, facial hair, hair color, age, and other factors that can make people look different will not generally effect the results. Facial composites, whether they are hand-drawn or created with Facial Composite software, can be used with FACE Plus.
