Face-ageing method could boost search for missing people
Each year, over a million missing persons cases are reported in the US and UK, leaving families desperately searching for their loved ones. In the hope of boosting this search, researchers have developed a new and more accurate method of ageing facial images. They have tested their new software on an image of Ben Needham, who went missing when he was a toddler in 1991 on the Greek island of Kos. The resulting images are vastly different to the computer generated images of Ben as an adult produced by current face-ageing current software. This, they say, suggests that existing technology isn't up to the task.
