TLDR
The interplay of technical and social issues involved in the widespread application of video surveillance for person identification, including face recognition technology, are analyzed.
Abstract
Video surveillance and face recognition systems have become the subject of increased interest and controversy after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. In favor of face recognition technology, there is the lure of a powerful tool to aid national security. On the negative side, there are fears of an Orwellian invasion of privacy. Given the ongoing nature of the controversy, and the fact that face recognition systems represent leading edge and rapidly changing technology, face recognition technology is currently a major issue in the area of social impact of technology. We analyze the interplay of technical and social issues involved in the widespread application of video surveillance for person identification.

Comparison and combination of ear and face images in appearance-based biometrics

TL;DR: It is found that recognition performance is not significantly different between the face and the ear, for example, 70.5 percent versus 71.6 percent in one experiment and multimodal recognition using both the ear and face results in statistically significant improvement over either individual biometric.

Face Recognition in Poor-Quality Video: Evidence From Security Surveillance:

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the ability of subjects to identify target people captured by a commercially available video security device and found that subjects who were personally familiar with the targets performed very well at identifying them, but subjects unfamiliar with the target performed very poorly.
