Abstract

In this paper we present a methodology for evaluating the operational effectiveness of facial recognition systems. After a brief introduction, we provide a description of the facial recognition process, its modes of operation (such as enrollment and operation), and signal processing operations (face capture, normalisation, feature extraction, database comparison and decision and action). We describe the methodology; from initial facial recognition system installation, tuning of the system, statistical analysis, to human factors and operational impact.
