Project Title: Integrated Law Enforcement Face-Identification System
(ILEFIS)
Project Description:
ILEFIS (Integrated Law Enforcement Face-Identification System) is the
next generation face-identification
technology designed specifically for use by local, state and federal law
enforcement organizations. It also has
significant potential for other fields of applications. It is based on a
completely 3D framework which constructs
face (head) surfaces by utilizing the available 2D face images (e.g.,
frontal and profile view or other
angled-view poses) of arrested persons currently maintained in local and
federal mug-shot depositories. ILEFIS
incorporates a novel 3D-composite technology that can identify
angled-view face images of non-cooperative
subjects, such as from a video surveillance camera at a distance. The
novel 3D framework of ILEFIS is founded
on a set of 3D face-feature-part repositories. The technology is based
on a 3D face-composite analysis that can
consider up to sixty-four (64) face features and skin-color/complexion
textures. For each face-feature part, it
provides up to two hundred and fifty-six (256) different 3D shapes or
texture conditions. ILEFIS is designed to
process through one million existing mug-shot files in less than two (2)
seconds. It is designed to run on
moderate cost PC platforms and utilizes an ultimate lower-dimensional
compression technique that can store
up to 60 million images on standard PC hardware.
ILEFIS has several technology benefits including the following:
Complete 3D composite generation capability,
Face identification from angled-view videos for non-cooperative
subjects,
Rapid matching to existing mug-shot and other face-image databases,
Operation on a standard PC platform (it works as a decentralized
system of networked ILEFIS stations),
Extremely low data storage and data transfer requirements.
