FORENSIC TECHNOLOGY: Algorithms Used in Federal Law Enforcement

May 12, 2020 By admin Leave a Comment

Law enforcement has long used physical evidence, such as fingerprints, to help solve crimes. Now, computer algorithms can help assess whether such evidence might be associated with a specific person—a process known as forensic attribution.

Federal agencies mainly use 3 types of forensic algorithms:

Face recognition compares a photo from a criminal investigation to an existing photo database

Probabilistic genotyping helps determine the likelihood that a person’s DNA may have contributed to DNA collected as evidence

Latent print analysis compares prints to a known database and provides a list of potential candidates for an expert to review
