A researcher seeks to uncover the mysteries of nearly four million photographs of Civil War-era images that may exist in the historical record

Superficial but deliberate changes in someone's facial appearance are surprisingly effective in identity deception

Facial recognition technology involves the identification of an individual based on an analysis of the geometric features of his or her face

Combining multiple poor quality CCTV images into a single, computer-enhanced composite could improve the accuracy of facial recognition systems used to identify criminal suspects

A fulsome smile in a photo makes it easier for people to identify the individual, say researchers at the University of York

To advance video facial identification for these and other applications, the National Institute of Standards and Technology conducted a large public test known as the Face in Video Evaluation

Scientists used highly sophisticated brain imaging tools and computational methods to measure the real-time brain processes that convert the appearance of a face into the recognition of an individual
