Unfamiliar simultaneous face matching is error prone. Reducing incorrect identification decisions will positively benefit forensic and security contexts. The absence of view-independent information in static images likely contributes to the difficulty of unfamiliar face matching. We tested whether a novel interactive viewing procedure that provides the user with 3D structural information as they rotate a facial image to different orientations would improve face matching accuracy. We tested the performance of ‘typical’ (Experiment 1) and ‘superior’ (Experiment 2) face recognizers, comparing their performance using high-quality (Experiment 3) and pixelated (Experiment 4) Facebook profile images. In each trial, participants responded whether two images featured the same person with one of these images being either a static face, a video providing orientation information, or an interactive image. Taken together, the results show that fluid orientation information and interactivity prompt shifts in criterion and support matching performance. Because typical and superior face recognizers both benefited from the structural information provided by the novel viewing procedures, our results point to qualitatively similar reliance on pictorial encoding in these groups. This also suggests that interactive viewing tools can be valuable in assisting face matching in high-performing practitioner groups.

典型和高级人脸识别器在新型交互式人脸匹配程序上的性能

不熟悉的同步人脸匹配很容易出错。减少不正确的识别决策将对取证和安全环境产生积极的影响。静态图像中缺少与视图无关的信息可能会导致不熟悉的人脸匹配变得困难。我们测试了一种在用户将面部图像旋转到不同方向时为用户提供 3D 结构信息的新型交互式查看程序是否会提高面部匹配精度。我们测试了“典型”（实验 1）和“高级”（实验 2）人脸识别器的性能，使用高质量（实验 3）和像素化（实验 4）Facebook 个人资料图像比较了它们的性能。在每次试验中，参与者都会回答两张图片是否是同一个人，其中一张图片是静态面孔，提供方向信息的视频或交互式图像。综上所述，结果表明，流体方向信息和交互性促使标准发生变化并支持匹配性能。因为典型的和高级的人脸识别器都受益于新颖的查看程序提供的结构信息，我们的结果表明这些组中对图像编码的依赖在质量上相似。这也表明交互式查看工具在帮助高绩效从业者群体中进行人脸匹配方面很有价值。因为典型的和高级的人脸识别器都受益于新颖的查看程序提供的结构信息，我们的结果表明这些组中对图像编码的依赖在质量上相似。这也表明交互式查看工具在帮助高绩效从业者群体中进行人脸匹配方面很有价值。因为典型的和高级的人脸识别器都受益于新颖的查看程序提供的结构信息，我们的结果表明这些组中对图像编码的依赖在质量上相似。这也表明交互式查看工具在帮助高绩效从业者群体中进行人脸匹配方面很有价值。
