The Questions:
Do composites de-identify faces?
Even those that are well-known to an observer?
Are facial composites realistic in appearance?

Figure 2: A comparison of two techniques for facial image de-identification. The middle image (B) is the original image. (A) black boxes only. (C) a facial composite, altered in the area of eyes and eyebrows only.

Faces
Subjects viewed the composite faces twice—first unaware that the faces were composites, and then primed to the presence of composites.

Table 2: Identification of Test faces after priming--compared by facial region. Percentages of subjects who correctly identified a familiar face when regions of that face were visible in the composite image are shown (true positives). In Test Face B, a significant difference (* p<0.01) in identification rate existed between Upper Face and Midface. Test Face A Midface was recognized correctly more often than Test Face B Midface (†p<0.01)

Step 2,3: Remove Background, Change laterality

4: Size all images to a standard (800 x1200)
5: Align the facial features
6: Create a Layer Mask
7: Use a Brush to reveal deeper layer
8: Blend the edges between the two layers
9: Correct Color Tones
