English term or phrase: likeness
As par of a research, people are interviewed and videotaped on a consumer product. In a consent form, says "If xxx uses your likeness or comments, you may be identified by your first name or initials......."

Is "likeness" in this case “似顔”？　Does anyone have better idea?

肖像/写真


Explanation:
この場合のlikenessはご提案のように似顔絵の意味もありますが、写真や肖像のことを指しているのではないでしょうか。調査の内容として、インタビューの他に、その様子をビデオテープに録画されるわけですから、通常顔も映るので、その肖像を使った場合にファーストネームやイニシャルが判明してしまう場合があります、という意味ではないでしょうか。

Notes to answerer
Asker: 確かにそうなんですよね。ただ、肖像というとどうもペインティングを想像しがちで、また写真ですと、ビデオが除外されてしまうのではないかと、悩んでいた所です。Suzuki さんの“画像”がぴったりきます。
