Faces in context: A new ecological paradigm for person identification

准确的面部识别对于个人正常的社会功能和身份管理过程至关重要，这是澳大利亚安全和公平的基础。目前的理解是建立在测试的基础上的，这些测试没有捕捉到日常生活中围绕着人的识别的丰富背景。该项目旨在介绍在日常生活和现实世界任务中观察个人识别的新方法，这些方法对边境安全、刑事调查和司法系统至关重要。预期的结果包括一个完整的人物识别框架，描述了将面孔与周围视觉环境和观众背景知识联系起来的认知机制。预计将在法医、安全和法律环境中受益。

Accurate face recognition is critical to normal social functioning of individuals and identity management processes that underpin a secure and fair Australia. Current understanding is based on tests that do not capture the rich context surrounding person identification in daily life. This project aims to introduce new methods for observing person identification in daily life and real-world tasks that are critical to border security, criminal investigations and the justice system. Expected outcomes include an integrated framework for person identification describing the cognitive mechanisms that link faces to surrounding visual context and the viewer’s background knowledge. Benefits in forensic, security and legal settings are expected.
