本案例报告描述了用于识别 20 世纪 70 年代从伦敦河中打捞出的 43 岁溺水男性尸检照片的新颖方法。嵌入在一系列箔片中的警察超级识别器（n = 25）拥有卓越的同步面部匹配能力，而警察控制装置（n = 139）提供了关于死后照片与大约同一时间失踪的男子生前照片相似性的置信度。与对照相比，超级识别器为目标提供的评分高于箔片，表明匹配。当利用超级识别人群的综合智慧时，效果会增强，但控制人群却不会。这些发现支持了额外的案件证据，使验尸官能够裁定死亡的男性和失踪的男性很可能是同一个人。描述了当没有其他方法可行时，如何将类似的超级识别器智慧的人群程序应用于其他视觉图像识别案例。 (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
This case report describes novel methodology used to identify a 43-year-old post-mortem photo of a drowned male recovered from a London river in the 1970s. Embedded in an array of foils, police super-recognisers (n = 25) possessing superior simultaneous face matching ability, and police controls (n = 139) provided confidence ratings as to the similarity of the post-mortem photo to an ante-mortem photo of a man who went missing at about the same time. Indicative of a match, compared to controls, superrecognisers provided higher ratings to the target than the foils. Effects were enhanced when drawing on the combined wisdom of super-recogniser crowds, but not control crowds. These findings supported additional case evidence allowing the coroner to rule that the deceased male and missing male were likely one and the same person. A description of how similar super-recogniser wisdom of the crowd procedures could be applied to other visual image identification cases when no other method is feasible is provided.
