Facial index based automated composite tool

Abstract

A facial composite is a graphical representation of a human face according to eyewitnesses' description. The failure rate of suspect identification through facial composite sketch has been declared as 92.86% in the year 2014 in Sri Lanka. In order to overcome this situation an automated image processing based software solution will be introduced which includes 2D facial feature templates created for the first time targeting the local population. The aforementioned templates will be based on facial indexes, both used in previous similar research studies and newly defined indexes suited for the current study.
