The purpose of this project is to identify the effects of a police officer’s body position on facial recognition identification accuracy in body-worn cameras (BWCs). More specifically, this research will examine how three different manipulations of a single policing stance will affect the facial recognition comparison scores for a known target using footage captured from a popular BWC under controlled conditions.
