criminalalert

Inspiration

Due to technological advancement it is very easy to track anyone at any time via digital cameras installed everywhere. We tried to use this to our advantage to track most wanted criminals.

What it does

Our Web-app uses Microsoft's cognitive services API to detect faces which it train itself on to recognize the faces. So, whenever it gets a face from a remote camera installed somewhere it tries to match it with existing faces of criminals in the database and if a match is found it raises an alarm with the last seem location of the criminal.

How I built it

The backend is developed using Microsoft's cognitive services API including Face API, vision API and Emotion API to first register a criminal face with the central database and then if a match is found using face match engine, then display it as an alert in the administrator's web-app.

Challenges I ran into

Integrating the microsoft APIs and programming them with Mysql was a big challenge.
