My last contract I worked developing a biometric system to extract a consistent "headshot" from all the various mugshots from arrest records in the US, and I worked with the Kairos system to extract pixel coordinate data from the images.
The API calls gave me a lot more then just pixel information, and one of the data points was skin color and it was correct like 98% of the time.
Now, of course, it's possible that posed mugshots deliver a much more consistent image quality then surveillance cams would, but 33% seems suspiciously high to me.
