Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the problems of identifying a person based on appearance, in particular, the use of the expert experiment method during the research. The topicality of the topic is due to the fact that the problem of researching images of a person based on appearance is one of the most difficult, which is due to the influence of certain negative factors on the appearance of a person and on the quality of the image of a person, in particular, in a video recording. To achieve the goal, general scientific and special methods, which are means of scientific research, were used. In particular, the method of system analysis, as well as system-structural, formal-logical, and statistical, provided an opportunity to outline the directions of the formation and development of the identification of a person, in particular, recorded in the materials of the video recording, to reveal the essence of its tasks and the peculiarities of conducting an expert experiment. An expert experiment algorithm was developed during the identification of a person, which contributes to the effectiveness of the conducted research. The main advantages of the expert experiment method during portrait examinations are highlighted, which enables a more thorough analysis of research results to formulate a reliable conclusion. The choice of methods is argued, the algorithms of their use during the expert experiment are worked out, the stages and tasks of each stage of the experiment during portrait research are defined. Suggestions are provided regarding the specifics of conducting an expert experiment during the identification of a person based on appearance. Today, there is an urgent need to update methodological approaches to conducting expert research in order to increase the reliability of research results. In this regard, it is necessary to immediately emphasize the importance of developing modern methodological support.
