India is a country with a massive population of 1.3 billion citizens. From this humongous number, nearly 40,000 children are snatched each year, according to a report by the National Human Rights Commission of India.
The facial recognition app can scan 80 facial features of a human face. The app is capable is matching a million photographs in just a second of time. It then uses the results of the scans to match with photographs that are present in a centralised server. This server is updated regularly with photographs from shelters that rescue and house potential missing children.
The app also features a name search tool that can find the names of the children. It can then match them with their parents’ names or identify the place from where they belong. Now, as most documents of India contain misspelt names of citizens, the tool uses the sound of the names to identify the correct name of the children.
