The Detective Vision: Forensic Face Sketch Construction and Recognition

The Project ‘Forensic Face Sketch Construction and Recognition’ is been designed, developed and finally tested keeping the real-world scenarios from the very first splash screen to the final screen to fetch data from the records keeping security, privacy and accuracy as the key factor in every scenario.   The platform displayed a tremendous result on Security point of view by blocking the platform use if the MAC Address and IP Address on load didn’t match the credentials associated with the user in the database and later the OTP system proved its ability to restrict the use of previously generated OTP and even generating the new OTP every time the OTP page is reloaded or the user tries to relog in the platform. The platform even showed good accuracy and speed while face sketch construction and recognition process, provided an average accuracy of more than 90% with a confidence level of 100% when tested with various test cases, test scenario and data sets, which means a very good rate according to related studies on this field.
