Locating Missing Persons Using Age-Progression Images from Forensic Artists

Abstract

When a person goes missing for an extended period of time, years sometimes, forensic artists may be called upon to depict a recent likeness of the face. Artists use a variety of techniques based on out-of-date photographs to provide an up-to-date age progression of the face, and the current project explores whether these techniques are effective. In the following summary, preliminary results are outlined; in my talk, I will present more-recent findings.
