The Delhi Police are preparing to enhance their crime-solving toolkit with a cutting-edge 'reverse image search' software. This innovation promises to streamline the arduous process of identifying suspects by automatically matching facial sketches with images in a criminal database, an official announced recently.
Developed by the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, the software leverages machine learning technology to improve efficiency and accuracy. It processes sketches based on witness testimonies and cross-references them with digital images, presenting matches in real-time to investigators.
Particularly beneficial in cases like murder, robbery, and sexual assault, this software substitutes traditional manual comparisons that were both time-consuming and less precise. Police officials claim it will be instrumental in solving cases that lack direct evidence or CCTV footage.
