Challenge
Suspect identification based on eyewitness testimony is crucial in criminal investigations.
Traditional facial composite sketches often lack the precision needed for clear identification.
Our challenge was to transform these composite sketches into photorealistic renders to enhance their utility in law enforcement.
Approach
We consulted with law enforcement agencies to understand their needs and the limitations of traditional composite sketches.
Our research focused on AI and machine learning models capable of converting sketches into photorealistic images.
We collected a comprehensive dataset of composite sketches and corresponding photographs to train our AI model.
Solution
We deployed advanced AI algorithms to interpret and enhance composite sketches into realistic images
and are currently developing a user-friendly interface for forensic artists to easily obtain high-quality photorealistic outputs.
