  • Abstract
    During a police investigation, officers often have to sort through hundreds of photographs to identify a suspect. To aid this task, we at the Institute of Systems Science developed and implemented a flexible database system that can retrieve faces using personal information, fuzzy and free-text descriptors, and classification trees.<>
