Abstract

An evaluation of individual and morphed composites created using the E-FIT and EFIT-V production systems was conducted. With the assistance of trained police staff, composites of unfamiliar targets were constructed from memory following a Cognitive Interview. EFIT-V composite production followed either a two-day delay, or on the same day as viewing a video of the target. E-FIT composites were created on the same day as viewing the target video. Morphs were produced from merging either two, or three composites created by the same witness, but with the assistance of a different operator. Participants familiar with the targets supplied similarity-to-target photograph ratings. No differences were found in the rated quality of composites created using E-FIT or EFIT-V, although a two-day delay in production resulted in inferior images. Morphs were rated as better likenesses than individual composites, although the benefits were greater with EFIT-Vs. Encouraging witnesses to create more than one composite image for subsequent morphing might enhance the likelihood of recognition of facial composites of criminals.
