Bharathi Sri The process of identifying and recognising the criminal is the time consuming and difficult task. There are several ways to identify culprits at the crime site, including fingerprinting, DNA matching, and eyewitness testimony. The criminal face identification system will be built on a existing criminal database. The method for identifying a human face using features extrapolated from an image is presented in this study. The technique for identifying a human face using characteristics extrapolated from a picture is presented in this research. It is quite difficult to develop a computer model for recognizing the human face since it is a complicated multidimensional visual representation. The video captured by the camera will be translated into frames as part of the suggested process. To increase detection accuracy, this suggested a Binary Gradient Alignment (BGA) algorithm a description texture classification technique. When a facial feature is detected in an image frame, it undergoes pre-processing to eliminate unnecessary data and reduce unwanted distortions. The real- time processed image is compared to the trained images that have previously been saved in the database. The technology will send an automatic email notice to the police officials if the surveillance camera detects a criminal. 2024 2024 118 132 10.54216/FPA.160109 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/3/show/2759
