Human identification using facial comparative descriptions
No full textEyewitness descriptions are vital for many criminal investigations, although typically still require manual discovery of possible suspects. Soft biometrics introduce a possibility to automatically search databases based on biometric features obtained from verbal descriptions. In this paper we introduce the use of comparative human descriptions for facial identification. Twenty-seven comparative traits are used to accurately describe facial features. The Elo rating system is utilized to determine continuous biometric features from multiple comparative descriptions. Experiments on the Soton gait database demonstrate a 96.7% identification accuracy with just three comparisons

A senior lecturer in English and Environmental Humanities, Cregan-Reid is also the author behind Footnotes - How Running Makes Us Human. He has a popular blog and has written widely on the subjects of health, literature, nature and the environment for publications such as the Guardian, Telegraph, and Literary Review and the BBC as well as numerous essays and articles for academic journals. His third book, Primate Change, was published in September 2018.
Vybarr Cregan-Reid talks to us about his new book, how the human body is changing and why we need to be aware of it
Soft biometrics for surveillance: an overview
No full textBiometrics is the science of automatically recognizing people based on physical or behavioral characteristics such as face, fingerprint, iris, hand, voice, gait and signature. More recently, the use of soft biometric traits has been proposed to improve the performance of traditional biometric systems and allow identification based on human descriptions. Soft biometric traits include characteristics such as height, weight, body geometry, scars, marks and tattoos (SMT), gender, etc. These traits offer several advantages over traditional biometric techniques. Soft biometric traits can be typically described using human understandable labels and measurements, allowing for retrieval and recognition solely based on verbal descriptions. Unlike many primary biometric traits, soft biometrics can be obtained at a distance without subject cooperation and from low quality video footage, making them ideal for use in surveillance applications. This chapter will introduce the current state-of-the-art in the emerging field of soft biometric
Soft biometrics; human identification using comparative descriptions
No full textSoft biometrics are a new form of biometric identification which use physical or behavioral traits that can be naturally described by humans. Unlike other biometric approaches, this allows identification based solely on verbal descriptions, bridging the semantic gap between biometrics and human description. To permit soft biometric identification the description must be accurate, yet conventional human descriptions comprising of absolute labels and estimations are often unreliable. A novel method of obtaining human descriptions will be introduced which utilizes comparative categorical labels to describe differences between subjects. This innovative approach has been shown to address many problems associated with absolute categorical labels - most critically, the descriptions contain more objective information and have increased discriminatory capabilities. Relative measurements of the subjects’ traits can be inferred from comparative human descriptions using the Elo rating system. The resulting soft biometric signatures have been demonstrated to be robust and allow accurate recognition of subjects. Relative measurements can also be obtained from other forms of human representation. This is demonstrated using a support vector machine to determine relative measurements from gait biometric signatures - allowing retrieval of subjects from video footage by using human comparisons, bridging the semantic gap
