We show that current train and test sets are generally not identity- or even image-disjoint, and that this results in an optimistic bias in the estimated accuracy.

This paper analyzes the accuracy of 1-to-many facial identification across demographic groups, and in the presence of blur and reduced resolution in the probe image as might occur in "surveillance camera quality" images.

In recent years, media reports have called out bias and racism in face recognition technology.

Two annotators independently assigning attribute values shows that only 12 of 40 common attributes are assigned values with >= 95% consistency, and three (high cheekbones, pointed nose, oval face) have essentially random consistency.

We then demonstrate that when the data used to estimate recognition accuracy is balanced across gender for how hairstyles occlude the face, the initially observed gender gap in accuracy largely disappears.

This is the first work that we are aware of to explore how the level of brightness of the skin region in a pair of face images (rather than a single image) impacts face recognition accuracy, and to evaluate this as a systematic factor causing unequal accuracy across demographics.

There is consensus in the research literature that face recognition accuracy is lower for females, who often have both a higher false match rate and a higher false non-match rate.

News reports have suggested that darker skin tone causes an increase in face recognition errors.

For impostor image pairs, our results show that pairs in which one image has a gender classification error have a better impostor distribution than pairs in which both images have correct gender classification, and so are less likely to generate a false match error.

We show that the female genuine distribution improves when only female images without facial cosmetics are used, but that the female impostor distribution also degrades at the same time.

In contrast, a pre deep learning matcher on the same dataset shows the traditional result of higher accuracy for older persons, although its overall accuracy is much lower than that of the deep learning matchers.

For a fixed decision threshold, the African-American image cohort has a higher false match rate and a lower false non-match rate.
