Abstract
Many security and surveillance tasks involve either finding an object in a cluttered scene or discriminating between like objects. For example, an observer might look for a person of known height and weight in a crowd, or he might want to positively identify a specific face. The paper "Modeling target acquisition tasks associated with security and surveillance" [Appl. Opt. 46, 4209 (2007)] describes a specific-object model used to predict the probability of accomplishing this type of task. We describe four facial identification experiments and apply the specific-object model to predict the results. Facial identification is accurately predicted by the specific-object model.
