The development of facial identification technologies is of vital importance for security. We demonstrate that psychology can ensure innovation produces applications with effective human outcomes. Experiments 1a-c show spectacle removal imaging techn...

Giving Crime the 'evo': Catching Criminals Using EvoFIT Facial Composites (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Frowd, C. D., Hancock, P. J., Bruce, V., McIntyre, A. H., Pitchford, M., Atkins, R., …Sendrea, G. (2010). Giving Crime the 'evo': Catching Criminals Using EvoFIT Facial Composites. In 2010 International Conference on Emerging Security Technologies (EST),doi:10.1109/est.2010.38

Facial composites are traditionally made by witnesses and victims describing and selecting parts of criminals’ faces, but this method is hard to do and has been shown to be generally ineffective. We have been working on an alternative system called E... Read More about Giving Crime the 'evo': Catching Criminals Using EvoFIT Facial Composites.

The psychology of face construction: Giving evolution a helping hand (2010)
Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Pitchford, M., Bruce, V., Jackson, S., Hepton, G., Greenall, M., …Hancock, P. J. B. (2011). The psychology of face construction: Giving evolution a helping hand. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 25(2), 195-203. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.1662

Face construction by selecting individual facial features rarely produces recognisable images. We have been developing a system called EvoFIT that works by the repeated selection and breeding of complete faces. Here, we explored two techniques. The f...
