FACES 4.0 FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT

Click HERE to watch video how FACES 4.0 is being utilized as an effective crime fighting tool.

That’s why thousands of police agencies worldwide -- including the CIA, FBI and the US Military -- use FACES, the breakthrough facial composite image technology from IQ Biometrix.

Endorsed by crime fighting agencies and supported by police as a proven, effective tool, FACES has been used successfullyfor more than five years to identify, track and apprehend criminal suspects.

FACES 4.0 is the latest and most advanced version of our award-winning technology, with new features including:
• expanded database of 4,400 facial features
• new Latin, African-American and Asian components
• ability to export images in JPEG format to use in police bulletins, advisories and websites
• three-tone hair features and hair flip, and facial markings such as piercings, moles, scars and tattoos

Building FACES is very much like assembling a puzzle, once you have all of the pieces...

The person can be identified.

FACES 4.0 includes the following key features:

Easy to Use
The improved interface of FACES 4.0 makes it easy for any police officer to create accurate composites with a click of a mouse. No forensic artist skills or experience are required. With FACES, composites can be created more quickly and inexpensively and used to solve crimes when a professional sketch artist isn’t available. FACES 4.0 can be used on any standard desktop or laptop computer running Microsoft Windows 98 or better.

Facial Database
With an expanded database of 4,400 facial features, including new Latin, African-American and Asian components, FACES 4.0 lets you create accurate composites of either sex and any race. Selected features are blended together to produce a photo-quality composite image. New to FACES 4.0 is the ability to enhance image accuracy by choosing among three different hair tones: adding facial markings such as scars, moles, piercings, tattoos and earrings: and using hats, headwear and eyeglasses.

Facial ID Codes
An exclusive feature of FACES is that it automatically generates a Biometric Alphanumeric Code (BAC) for every facial composite you develop. The 56-digit in the BAC code represent the specific facial features (eyes, nose, mouth, etc) in the FACES image. This digital “fingerprint” can be transmitted between police agencies in any format (phone, fax, email) and used to recreate an FACES image in exact detail. BAC code transmission – less than 1KB - is ideal for wireless transmission between police cars and stations.

Police Bulletins and Alerts
FACES 4.0 allows for easy export of facial images as JPEG files that can be included in police bulletins and advisories.

Video Enhancement Using FACES
FACES 4.0 is included in Video Analyst System from Intergraph Solutions Group. VAS provides cutting edge tools to enhance video surveillance, and is the only video analysis product to incorporate NASA-developed Video Image Stabilization and Registration (VISAR) technology. The FACES/VAS solution allows law enforcement agencies to better identify and track suspects by creating facial composites from surveillance evidence.

FACES 4.0 Support
FACES 4.0 includes free technical assistance for 90 days by phone or email.
The software CD includes a 40 page user’s guide. You also get a 160-page booklet of thumbnail images from the FACES 4.0 database to use in witness interviews.
