As a result, law enforcement and intelligence agencies have numerous opportunities to acquire and analyze images that depict persons of interest. \u003cstrong\u003eComputer-Aided Forensic Facial Comparison\u003c\/strong\u003e is a comprehensive exploration of the scientific, technical, and statistical challenges facing researchers investigating courtroom identification from facial images.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupported by considerable background material, research data, and prototypic statistical and applications software, this volume brings together contributions from anthropologists, computer scientists, forensic scientists, and statisticians.

Using experimental and real case data, it demonstrates the influence of illumination, image resolution, perspective, and pose angle on landmark visibility. Downloadable resources are included which contain the raw 3D landmark datasets for 3000 faces, additional datasets used in 2D analysis, and computer programs and spreadsheets used in analysis and in the development of prototypic applications software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Paul Evison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439811334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439811337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2010 pg. 5","brand":"Martin Paul Evison","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088264769791,"sku":"9781439811337","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6510af9-ff2e-4f96-b6c6-c594e8f5e088.jpg?v=1769103951","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/computer-aided-forensic-facial-comparison-martin-paul-evison-9781439811337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
