Abstract

This study constructed a real-time microreaction recognition system that can give real-time assistance to investigators. Test results indicated that the number of frames per second (30 or 190); angle of the camera, namely the front view of the interviewee or left (+45°) or right (−45°) view; and image resolution (480 or 680 p) did not have major effects on the system’s recognition ability. However, when the camera was placed at a distance of 300 cm, recognition did not always succeed. Value changes were larger when the camera was placed at an elevation 45° than when it was placed directly in front of the person being interrogated. Within a specific distance, the recognition results of the proposed real-time microreaction recognition system concurred with the six reaction case videos. In practice, only the distance and height of the camera must be adjusted in the real-time microreaction recognition system.

Abstract

Interrogation is a crucial step in the investigation of criminal acts. Artificial intelligence has been used to increase the efficiency of interrogation. In this study, we developed a confession probability identification system to help investigators analyze the emotions of their interrogees while they are answering questions and determine the probability of them confessing. Based on these analysis results along with their own experience, investigators may adjust the content and direction of their interrogations to penetrate the interrogees’ defenses. The proposed system uses OpenFace and FaceReader to capture data and incorporates the multi-grained cascade forest (gcForest) and long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithms for deep learning. Our results indicated that the recognition accuracy of the gcForest algorithm exceeded that of the LSTM algorithm, which is consistent with the fact that the gcForest algorithm is more suitable for smaller sample sizes. In addition, heart-rate-based assessment may lead to erroneous determination of whether an interrogatee is telling the truth or lies because their heart rate may increase as a result of emotional responses.

Abstract

Banknotes may be damaged during various events, such as floods, fires, insect infestations, and mechanical or manual shredding. Disaster victims might need to perform banknote reconstruction when applying for currency exchange, or investigative agencies might need to conduct such reconstruction during evidence collection. When the number of banknote fragments is small, they can be manually assembled; however, when this number is large, manual assembly becomes increasingly difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, an automated and effective method is required for banknote reconstruction. The process of banknote reconstruction can be considered similar to solving a large-scale jigsaw puzzle. This study employed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to reconstruct damaged banknotes. A robotic arm was used to replace manual separation and automated digital image processing techniques, and AI image registration technology, deep learning, and logical operations were utilized. A deep convolutional neural network was used to estimate the relative homography between images, and fragmented banknotes were mapped to a reference banknote for image transformation, thereby reconstructing the damaged banknotes. Additionally, a repetitive matching method was established to optimize the matching results to achieve the best possible mapping and enhance validation efficiency.

Abstract

Following the development of artificial intelligence technology, a new trend has emerged in which this technology is increasingly used in case investigations. In this study, we developed a lie detection system that can instantly determine whether an interrogee is lying depending on their emotional responses to specific questions. Investigators then use these data, in addition to their personal experiences and case information, to adjust their interrogation strategies and techniques, thereby leading the interrogee to confess and accelerating the investigation process. Our system collects data using OpenFace and performs deep learning using gcForest. Deep learning training was performed using a real-life trial dataset, the Miami University Deception Detection Database, and a bag-of-lies dataset, and their corresponding trained systems achieved a detection accuracy of 95.11%, 90.83%, and 88.19%, respectively.

Abstract

Following the development of big data, the use of microexpression technology has become increasingly popular. The application of microexpressions has expanded beyond medical treatment to include scientific case investigations. Because microexpressions are characterized by short duration and low intensity, training humans to recognize their yields poor performance results. Automatically recognizing microexpressions by using machine learning techniques can provide more effective results and save time and resources. In the real world, to avoid judicial punishment, people lie and conceal the truth for a variety of reasons. In this study, our primary objective was to develop a system for real-time microexpression recognition. We used FaceReader as the retrieval system and integrated the data with an application programming interface to provide recognition results as objective references in real-time. Using an experimental analysis, we also attempted to determine the optimal system configuration conditions. In conclusion, the use of artificial intelligence is expected to enhance the efficiency of investigations.

Abstract

As an initial trial and in response to a lack of technological applications in government agencies, we have developed three multifunctional robots in accordance with the work environment and the nature of our tasks. Search site monitoring robot is fitted with a panoramic camera and large wheels for walk-around search site monitoring. Suspect guarding robot follows and guards a suspect by tracking an augmented reality marker worn by the suspect and identifying the human body through an infrared thermal camera. For the evidence identification robot, You Only Look Once (YOLO) is utilized to identify some specific evidence on search site and is equipped with a carrier and a high-torque motor for evidence transportation; it is set to issue warnings and emails to relevant personnel on specific emergencies. We have performed multiple experiments and tests to confirm the robots’ effectiveness, verifying their applicability of technological task support in government agencies.
