Facial Recognition Technology Will Soon Change The Way Police Identify Criminals - Latest, Trending Automation News

Major advancements are being made in the field of Facial Recognition but the technology is still in the early stages of development. Right now, it is possible to accurately identify persons from a series of images provided if we have a small database from which the algorithm has to search from but if the database goes extensive with images of many persons, the time for the person to be identified can exceed by a huge margin. And in practical scenarios, we need results in a matter of seconds or so. Therefore it is not convenient to deploy this tech right now but it still presents a promising future in the area of crime fighting and tracking of fugitives. By using Facial Recognition with the combination of Azure Cloud Services or Amazon Web Services etc, if a police officer is wearing a helmet with a webcam and scanning a crime scene, it is possible for him to identify suspects who have a past criminal history.
