Abstract
A system and method are provided for constructing face image logs from video surveillance that are complete and concise in the sense that the logs contain only the best images available for each individual observed. The quality of the face images are assessed and scored based upon a plurality of image criteria. The image criteria are combined to an overall quality score. The quality score is associated with the face image enabling the face log to be purged so that only high quality face images are contained in the log.
