Description

Taking a cue from Chennai City Police, the Madurai City Police has launched the app which is a simple android mobile application which streamlines the criminal antecedents checking process using facial recognition technology, according to the Madurai Police. 1

According to the Madurai police, photos of the criminals have been uploaded to a central database and the police personnel who want to check the criminal database can either take a live picture of the person or can use the existing photo available in the phone gallery and run it through the database which will compare and give a matching photo. The app also shows the percentage of matching score which makes it more reliable. This way the works of checking the criminal record of a person becomes very easy and effective. Using only 50 kb of data for each photo it can work in even slow internet connections and give results in less than a second. 1
