Automated Facial Recognition System

Subject – Defence

Concept –

AFRS will be a mobile and web application hosted in NCRB’s (which manages data for police) data centre in Delhi but used by all police stations in the country.
AFRS works by comparing the new image of an unidentified person often taken from CCTV footage with the existing database ( AFRS maintains a database with photos and videos of peoples faces) to find a match and identify the person.
The artificial intelligence technology used for pattern-finding and matching is called “neural networks”.
National Crime Records Bureau(NCRB) has released a request proposal for an Automated Facial Recognition System (AFRS) to be used by police officers across the country.
Automated Facial Recognition System can play a very vital role in crime prevention and criminal identification and verification (identifying criminals, missing people, and unidentified dead bodies) by facilitating easy recording, analysis, retrieval and sharing of information between different organizations.
