Description
Although the recognition of human beings is
something quite easy for humans, the ability for machines to
recognise people is still a challenging problem; hence it has
been receiving significant attention in recent years. Face
recognition is one of those challenging issues. Given the fact
that human recognition of faces is critical for humans in their
everyday life, automating the process of facial recognition is
very useful in a wide range of applications ranging from
human-machine interfaces and automatic access control
systems used for security and criminal identification. To the
best of our knowledge, there is no form of facial recognition for
identifying criminals in the Nigerian Police Force. The method
of criminal record keeping in the country is still manual.
Citizens go through manual filling of forms and writing of
statements. This is slow and inefficient and sometimes lead to
breach of protocols in some crime cases particularly by an
insider, or even someone from the outside. The objective of this
paper is to design a face recognition system for security control
in Nigeria. When fully implemented, we believe the system will
go a long way in assisting the security personnel in performing
a productive and efficient delivery of better services to citizens.
The system will also help in the keeping of criminal records
and crime cases by detecting the faces of the perpetrators and
masterminds of such crimes, thereby ensuring they are caught
and dealt with according to the laws of the country.
