Facial Recognition System Search Results Could Be Improved by ASTM E3445
ASTM International’s forensic sciences committee (E30) has approved a new standard that will help to improve automated facial recognition search performance. The new standard (soon to be published as E3445) will help to improve search results for people using a facial recognition system (FRS).
The new standard describes a series of steps to process a probe image to maximize the likelihood that an FRS search returns a potential candidate.
“The new standard will help in standardizing the steps of how to search an image in an FRS in a way that makes the least number of changes to the image,” says ASTM member Lora Sims. “The standard also stresses the importance of comparing search results to the original image. All image processing should be minimal and the candidates from the system should be compared to the original unprocessed image.”
This effort directly relates to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #16 on peace, justice, and strong institutions.
