A Little Bit of BackgroundWho is NIJ?• NIJ is the research and development agency of the U.S. Department of Justice
and is the only Federal agency solely dedicated to researching crime control and justice issues. NIJ provides objective, independent, non-partisan, evidence-based knowledge and tools to meet the challenges of crime and justice, particularly at the State and local levels. NIJ's principal authorities are derived from the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (42 USC §3721-3722).
• In partnership with others, NIJ's mission is to prevent and reduce crime, improve law enforcement and the administration of justice, and promote public safety. By applying the disciplines of the social and physical sciences, NIJ
• researches the nature and impact of crime and delinquency;• develops applied technologies, standards and tools for criminal justice
practitioners;• evaluates existing programs and responses to crime;• tests innovative concepts and program models in the field;• assists policymakers, program partners, and justice agencies; and • disseminates knowledge to many audiences.

Face RecognitionMulti-Camera SurveillanceFaceIt Surveillance © Developed
• Two camera system with wide FOV for face acquisition and narrow FOV for face optimization
• 150% improvement in face finding speed realized
• Multiple image template showed43% performance improvement with 4 images of same face
Automatically pulling out faces from background
Providing camera feedback based on face location and face image quality
to get best face image
Automatically tracking individuals within scene

Standards DevelopmentThe Office of Law Enforcement Standards• OLES serves as the principal agent for standards development for the criminal
justice and public safety communities. OLES has been instrumental in the development of numerous standards and the issuance of various technical reports that have had significant impact on both of these communities. To accomplish this task, OLES:
• Develops methods for testing equipment performance;
• Develops methods for examining evidentiary materials;
• Develops standards for equipment and operating procedures;
• Develops users' guides;• Develops standard reference materials; and• Performs other scientific and engineering
research as required by the criminal justice and public safety communities.
Helping law enforcement, corrections, criminal justice, and public safety agencies ensure that the equipment they purchase and the technologies they use are safe,
dependable, and effective.

Biometrics Challenges Today• Performance affected by environment, quality of captured &
known biometric, user cooperation, etc. Too many variables
• Requires a “high-end” computer for real-time capture/processing
• Stand-alone systems that are generally not integrated together
• Multiple unique or proprietary formats in use
• Biometric templates may not be available to local law enforcement
• Data sharing across jurisdictions is a problem
• Manpower intensive operation
• Requires human judgement on match: Metal Detector Analogy
• Law Enforcement has ~18,000 independent State and Local user agencies
• Privacy and legal issues
