Abstract - The investigation of missing people is a critical societal concern, requiring efficient and effective methods for identification and search. This project proposes a novel approach utilizing image processing techniques to aid in the search and identification process.

Through the integration of computer vision algorithms, facial recognition systems, and machine learning methodologies, this research aims to enhance the accuracy and speed of identifying missing individuals from diverse datasets. By leveraging advancements in image processing, the proposed system can analyze and compare facial features, distinguishing characteristics, and other relevant attributes present in images obtained from various sources such as CCTV footage, social media platforms, and law enforcement databases.

The project involves the development of a comprehensive software framework capable of handling large volumes of image data, facilitating rapid processing and analysis. Furthermore, the system will incorporate machine learning models trained on extensive datasets to improve recognition accuracy and adaptability to diverse environments and image qualities..

The proposed solution holds significant potential to revolutionize the investigation of missing persons cases by harnessing the power of image processing technologies. Through seamless integration with existing law enforcement systems and protocols, it offers a scalable and reliable approach to address the complex challenges associated with locating and identifying missing individuals.
