Although facial
identification (FI) has been used in government and law enforcement
applications for decades, the widespread
use of facial images for scientific analysis
and automated facial recognition (FR) systems
is more recent.
Consequently, there is a
need to gather and disseminate accurate
information regarding the proper
application of FI and FR methodologies and
technologies.*
Please visit this
website often if you are interested in
endeavors to fulfill community needs for this
discipline.
If you are actively
engaged in FI and/or FR work, please consider
participating in FISWG
activities. FISWG meeting
participants work hard establishing standards
and guidelines
during weeklong meetings twice
annually, and are exposed to
world-class presentations and information
unavailable anywhere else.
