Using technology that recognizes hidden faces under the mask on video

On October 14, 2019, it became known that the Investigative Committee of Russia uses technologies that recognize the faces hidden under the mask on video. Forensic experts and experts with the help of technical means can record traces of a crime that are "intangible and not visible to the human eye," according to the release of the program "Wonders of Forensic Science" on the department's YouTube channel.

The host of the program gave an example with the murder of a businessman in Tambov. The criminals recorded street surveillance cameras, but it was not possible to identify him. Then the investigator appointed a video technical examination, which, with an accuracy of centimeters, determined the parameters of the suspect's face and physique, as well as the color of the clothes in which he was at the time of the crime.

The Investigative Committee of Russia uses technologies that recognize hidden under the face mask on video

Under the onslaught of the collected evidence, the accused had only one thing left - to confess to the committed crime, - said the representative of the UK.

The Investigative Committee also uses technologies to superimpose 3D models of the face on blurred personnel of the video recording, which captures the suspect. Thus, a rapist was caught in Moscow, who attacked his victims in the entrances and was not afraid of the poor quality of shooting intercom cameras.

As Vadim Smekhnov, a senior forensic investigator, said in the "Wonders of Criminalistics" program on the official YouTube channel of the department, intangible digital space for criminalistics and for combating crime in general is the main source of the trace picture of the crime scene. The department notes that on the Internet, traces of a crime are only a combination of numbers, and criminals are trying to destroy them. However, forensic scientists can "find evidence even in a grandiose digital basket."

In Moscow, a face facial recognition system used to capture criminals, which is built into the city's video surveillance network. For two years of testing the technology with its help on the streets and in the metro of the capital, the police detained more than 300 people by June 2019.^[1]
