An India-based startup is helping law enforcement locate missing children using artificial intelligence (AI), data and facial recognition technology.
Researchers suggest that facial recognition tech works with half of the face
Using artificial intelligence (AI), the team demonstrated that it was possible to accurately identify people when only half or three-quarters of their faces were visible, achieving 100% recognition rates. The study is reportedly the first of its kind to apply machine learning to gauge recognition rates for just parts of a face.
