Eyewitnesses often construct a ‘composite’ face of a person they saw commit a crime, a picture that police use to identify suspects. We described a technique (Frowd et al., 2007, Visual Cognition, 15, 1-31) based on facial caricature to facilitate r...

Interviewing techniques for Darwinian facial-composite systems. (2012)
Journal Article

Eyewitnesses are often asked to describe the appearance of an offender’s face, normally as part of a cognitive interview (CI), and then to construct a facial composite of it by selecting hair, eyes, nose, etc. Recent research indicates that facial c...

Catching even more offenders with EvoFIT facial composites (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Frowd, C. D., Pitchford, M., Petkovic, A., Skelton, F. C., Prosser, C., & Coates, B. (2012, September). Catching even more offenders with EvoFIT facial composites. Presented at 2012 Third International Conference on Emerging Security Technologies, Lisbon, Portugal

Facial composites are an investigative tool used by police to identify suspects of crime. Unfortunately, traditional methods to construct the face have rather low success rates. We have been developing a new recognition-based method called EvoFIT tha... Read More about Catching even more offenders with EvoFIT facial composites.

Recovering faces from memory: the distracting influence of external facial features. (2012)
Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Skelton, F. C., Atherton, C., Pitchford, M., Hepton, G., Holden, L., …Hancock, P. J. B. (2012). Recovering faces from memory: the distracting influence of external facial features. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 18, 224-238. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0027393

Recognition memory for unfamiliar faces is facilitated when contextual cues (e.g. head pose, background environment, hair and clothing) are consistent between study and test. By contrast, inconsistencies in external features, especially hair, promot... Read More about Recovering faces from memory: the distracting influence of external facial features..
