Computerized feature retrieval of images : suspect identification / E. Lee and T. Whalen

Sumario: In suspect identification, witnesses examine photographs of known offenders in mug-shot albums. The probability of correct identification deteriorates rapidly, however, as the number of mug-shots examined increases. Feature approaches, where mu-shots are displayed in order of similarity to a witness's description of a suspect, attemp to increase identification success by reducing this number. A methodology is proposed for the design, development, and evaluation of these systems based on computer simulations, experiments and four classes of systems performance measures
