History of NIJ Support for Face Recognition Technology
The National Institute of Justice has helped drive development of face algorithms since the 1990s, and NIJ expects to remain engaged as the technology evolves and the operating requirements mature.
Algorithms that Mimic the Brain’s Processing Networks Preferred for Some Functions of Face Detection and Recognition Technology
Recently completed research supported by NIJ, closely comparing different types of facial analysis algorithms — including a long-time law enforcement workhorse — reveals that high-powered, deep neural networks can deliver improved performance.

Determining the Age of a Sample Using RNA Sequencing
The forensic power of DNA is clear, but biological evidence also contains RNA, another potential source of information. Because RNA decomposes quickly, its utility is considered limited. Could this decomposition provide information about a sample’s age?

Skin Microbe Colonies Used for Human Identification
Humans transfer trace signatures of unique colonies of microbes on our skin to objects we touch. The tiny size of that signature make it difficult for investigators to identify an individual. Research now has made that identification more likely.
