Description

Forensic examiners of the Romanian Police, who are specialized in facial image examinations, will be trained to perform FR searches after the implementation of the FR system. NeoFace Watch software from NEC has been acquired for this work and is currently being implemented.

Although FR searches are not being performed at the present time, the initial requirements for the search capability have been established. For FR purposes, only frontal face images will be used. Probe images must have at least 20 pixels between the pupils and, ideally, FR users will have the possibility to pre-process a probe image by cropping and/or enhancement. A threshold for a candidate list will be set by the user depending on the specific case, but no "lights out" scenario is planned for the implementation.

FR search results will only be used as a lead in criminal investigations and will not be used as evidence in the court. For court purposes, only the results of 1:1 comparisons will be eligible when presented as expert reports.1
