Matching Facial Images Using Age Related Morphing Changes

Abstract

Each year many people are reported missing in most of the countries in the world owing to various reasons. Arrangements have to be made to nd these people after some time. So the investigating agencies are compelled to make out these people by using manpower. But in many cases, the investigations carried out to nd out an absconding for a long time may not be successful. At a time like that it may be di cult to identify these people by examining their old photographs, because their facial appearance might have changed mainly due to the natural aging process. On some occasions in forensic medicine if a dead body is found, investigations should be held to make sure that this corpse belongs to a person disappeared some time ago. With the passage of time the face of the person might have changed and there should be a mechanism to reveal the persons identity. In order to make this process easy, we must guess and decide as to how he will look like by now. To address this problem this research presents a way of synthesizing a facial image with the aging e ects.
