BBC Ideas Film

Researchers at CPRL have played a leading role in the creation of new procedures and technologies to help generate a likeness of a suspect, including the development of the E-FIT and EFIT-V systems, methods of combining information from multiple witnesses and picture-based questioning to work with young children.

In this short BBC film, Prof Graham Pike (Director of Research) talks about some of the research and challenges involved in creating facial likenesses.  Watch the film here.

Graham has also produced an open educational resource, called Photofit Me, that allows people to have a go at creating a facial likeness and that begins to explore some of the psychology of perception and memory that is involved.  Click here to have a go yourself!
