Abstract

The paper examines the particulars of individual and comparative analysis of video images portraying the physical appearance of human subjects, when conducted for the purposes of forensic facial recognition. It details the specifics of the expert's actions at these stages of the investigation. Presented guidelines on the use of recommended methods of forensic video analysis are based on a review of forensic practice. The author points out that when studying elements of human appearance, the expert should as a matter of priority take into account those factors that affect the display of features in the video.
