New study finds that CCTV or video surveillance recognition is improved when using interactive images over static
A new study by psychologists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU), University of Birmingham, University of Greenwich and University of New South Wales has found that the use of interactive rotating images could help to reduce errors in facial recognition scenarios such as border control, police investigations and passport processing and CCTV or video surveillance recognition and investigations.
Checking photo ID is necessary for verifying identity, enabling people to cross borders, buy age-restricted goods, and access services. In a similar way, CCTV identification relies on matching footage to mugshots of suspects. However, the human user error rate when matching faces is surprisingly high, even among experienced practitioners, with incorrect decisions potentially having serious consequences.
