Project Overview
"The Ministry of Women and Child Development have implemented a service called TrackChild under the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS). TrackChild is a National Tracking System for missing and vulnerable children. It contains an online database of information & photographs of missing children that is accessible to both citizens & officials.
Using the facial recognition system & this database, the Delhi Police Department scanned all images of around 45,000 children within the database & were able to identify 2930 missing children. This reduces the exhaustive approach of manual search and makes for a faster tracking system.
The system was deployed by the police department on a trial basis and within 4 days of its trial run, the technology was used on the faces of 45,000 children living in the city with an aim to track missing children. The system identified 2,930 children correctly in the first four days."
