But recognizing a face with software in real time has long been out of reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis technology enables matching between thermal face images and existing biometric face databases\/watch lists that only contain visible face imagery,\u201d said Benjamin Riggan, an ARL research scientist. \u201cThe technology provides a way for humans to visually compare visible and thermal facial imagery through thermal-to-visible face synthesis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current tech can do facial recognition in daytime or when a person is lit up, such as with a flashlight. But those are not options on a nighttime raid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen using thermal cameras to capture facial imagery, the main challenge is that the captured thermal image must be matched against a watch list \u2026,\u201d Riggan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But by using captured images of terrorists or persons of interest, troops can use algorithms to search the databases full of photos to match up to their intended target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riggan and fellow researcher Shuowen \u201cSean\u201d Hu, demonstrated their work at a recent tech conference, using key facial areas of eyes, nose and mouth to enhance how the system can discriminate between images stored in the database from what the thermal cameras captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though only in testing, the research will continue under funding from the Defense Forensics and Biometrics Agency, Riggan said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Troops could use facial recognition to find their intended target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":44926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":88,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[15,88],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3419],"class_list":["post-40014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-your-military"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"RCHR6NIM4FH3NB2MUWQ5ZLJKPM","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-army\/2018\/04\/18\/is-that-the-right-terrorist-this-new-tech-ids-faces-in-the-dark\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Is that the right terrorist?
