>>I don’t think that’s good enough for facial rec. I thought facial recognition data uses the “dead on” image, like you’d get in a passport photo.
This is the attorney's image, from their own website (and each attorney has at least one photo) - do you really think these images are not good enough to use with facial recognition? imo, they are more than good enough, and better than most passport photos.
Facial recognition software emphasizes some portion of facial features. It is not a question of resolution or appearance.
To match a photo there must be a software enhanced picture that is compared with another facial recognition image.
My daughter on the East Coast has a close friend who writes some of that software.
