Google glass for public safety: leveraging Google Glass for automatic information retrieval and notification by public safety officers in the field

Abstract

For the efficient performance of law enforcement, it is important that the officers have the upper hand when it comes to technology. Information is of the upmost importance in the Criminal Justice field, but it is also important to have data in a manner that can be easily accessible and does not interfere with the officer's activities. With the arrival of the Google Glass, it is possible to bring data closer to the officer in a convenient way. Taking advantage of the camera on the Glass, our software will use photographs taken by the officer in order to retrieve relevant data stored in a database. License information, registration, and facial identification are our main objectives for this project.
