A new system has been developed that uses AI technology to predict the current face of a wanted suspect who has been fleeing for a long time.
The National Police Agency and others will use it to call for information in the future.
The police have posted facial photos of about 630 suspects nationwide on posters and websites, but in many cases they have escaped for more than 10 years, and the actual faces and the arranged photos are far apart. The reality is that there is.
For this reason, a team of private companies such as IT giant Yahoo has worked with the National Police Agency to develop a system that uses AI technology to predict the face of a suspect who has been fleeing for a long time.
Using more than 20,000 facial photo data, you can express wrinkles and sagging skin according to age.
It also means that you can display multiple patterns of faces by increasing or decreasing your hair and weight.
A photo of the suspect's face using this system will be posted on the Internet from the 30th, and information can be provided to the police from a dedicated form.
Hiroshi Shigematsu, Chief of the Criminal Planning Division, Criminal Affairs Bureau, Police Agency, said, "I hope that you can browse from your smartphone and receive as much information as possible."
30% of wanted suspects fled for more than 10 years
According to the National Police Agency, as of the end of August, there were about 630 suspects nationwide, of which about 30%, or 180, have been on the run for more than 10 years.
In some cases, it has been more than 40 years since the arranged photo was taken, and it seems that it may be quite different from the current face.
In addition, the provision of information about suspects tends to decrease as time passes from the occurrence of the incident, and how to collect information has become an issue.
