Abstract
In this paper, we present a practical framework that addresses six, mostly forensic, aspects that can be considered during the design and evaluation of biometric classifiers for the purpose of forensic evidence evaluation. Forensic evidence evaluation is a central activity in forensic case work, it includes the assessment of strength of evidence of trace and reference specimens and its outcome may be used in a court of law. The addressed aspects consider the modality and features, the biometric score and its forensic use, and choice and evaluation of several performance characteristics and metrics. The aim of the framework is to make the design and evaluation choices more transparent. We also present two applications of the framework pertaining to forensic face recognition. Using the framework, we can demonstrate large and explainable variations in discriminating power between subjects.
