The goal of the project "Facial Metrics for EES" is to develop, implement and publish an open source algorithm for the quality assessment of facial images (OFIQ) for face recognition, in particular for border control scenarios. 1 In order to stimulate the harmonization of the requirements and practices applied for QA for facial images, the insights gained and algorithms developed in the project will be contributed to the current (2022) revision of the ISO/IEC 29794-5 standard.

Moreover, we demonstrate the feasibility of the generation by using a deep learning-based model for removing tattoos from face images.

To this end, various decision fusion methods are proposed incorporating the examiners' decision confidence, experience level, and their time to take a decision.

In recent years, increasing deployment of face recognition technology in security-critical settings, such as border control or law enforcement, has led to considerable interest in the vulnerability of face recognition systems to attacks utilising legitimate documents, which are issued on the basis of digitally manipulated face images.

Doppelg\"angers (or lookalikes) usually yield an increased probability of false matches in a facial recognition system, as opposed to random face image pairs selected for non-mated comparison trials.

Recently, different researchers have found that the gallery composition of a face database can induce performance differentials to facial identification systems in which a probe image is compared against up to all stored reference images to reach a biometric decision.

Facial cosmetics have the ability to substantially alter the facial appearance, which can negatively affect the decisions of a face recognition.
