This research done is to solve the problems faced by digital forensic analysts in identifying a suspect captured on their CCTV. Identifying the suspect through the CCTV video footage is a very challenging task for them as it involves tedious rounds of processes to match the facial information in the video footage to a set of suspect’s images. The biggest problem faced by digital forensic analysis is modeling 2D model extracted from CCTV video as the model does not provide enough information to carry out the identification process. Problems occur when a suspect in the video is not facing the camera, the image extracted is the side image of the suspect and it is difficult to make a matching with portrait image in the database. There are also many factors that contribute to the process of extracting facial information from a video to be difficult, such as low-quality video. Through 2D to 3D image model mapping, any partial face information that is incomplete can be matched more efficiently with 3D data by rotating it to matched position. The first methodology in this research is data collection; any data obtained through video recorder. Then, the video will be converted into an image. Images are used to develop the Active Appearance Model (the 2D face model is AAM) 2D and AAM 3D. AAM is used as an input for learning and testing process involving three classifiers, which are Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Neural Networks classifier. The experimental results show that the 3D model is more suitable for use in face recognition as the percentage of the recognition is higher compared with the 2D model.

Recognition of human faces has been a fascinating subject in research field for many years. It is considered a multidisciplinary field because it includes understanding different domains such as psychology, neuroscience, computer vision, artificial intelligence, mathematics, and many others. Human face perception is intriguing and draws our attention because we accomplish the task so well that we hope to one day witness a machine performing the same task in a similar or better way. This chapter aims to provide a systematic and practical approach regarding to one of the most current techniques applied on face recognition, known as AAM (Active Appearance Model). AAM method is addressed considering 2D face processing only. This chapter doesn’t cover the entire theme, but offers to the reader the necessary tools to construct a consistent and productive pathway toward this involving subject.
