The National Crime Records Bureau in India (NCRB) has conceptualized the Automated Facial Recognition System (AFRS) for India and is seeking applications for its adoption. This is an effort in the direction of modernizing the police force, information gathering, criminal identification, verification and its dissemination among various police organizations and units across the country. The Government has invited companies to bid for the project, which will be used to identify people such as criminals, missing children/persons, unidentified dead bodies and unknown traced children/persons by matching their images against a database of images. This would greatly facilitate the investigation of crime and detection of criminals and provide information for easier and faster analysis. The AFRS solution will be implemented by the solution provider selected through a bid process.
