Identification of a Person by Appearance and Biometrics Methods

Abstract

The article considers the identification of a person by the signs of his external appearance in the aspect of the possibility of using biometrics methods. Attention is drawn to the formation of methods of the biometrics system based on the classification of anthropometric parameters of a person’s face. Retrospectively, the development of methods for classifying human facial features is traced, based on the needs of searching for and distinguishing a person among many other persons. The results of such differentiation are evaluated from the point of view of identifying a specific individual. The thesis is substantiated that it is impossible to replace forensic portrait identification with biometric and neural network search, which is carried out based on human images formed in a variety of conditions. Attention is drawn to the fact that the results of an automated search for a specific person among many other people are carried out in order to recognize him in this environment. Forensic portrait examination allows you to establish an individual-specific identity of a person according to the most diverse representations of a person.
