AI Facial Recognition Development for Law Enforcement

• Basic computer literacy

Audience

• Law enforcement personnel

AI facial recognition is a technology that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to analyze and identify human faces in images, videos, or real-time scenarios. This technology is widely used in various applications, from security and surveillance to personalization and authentication.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level law enforcement personnel who wish to transition from manual facial sketching to using AI tools for developing facial recognition systems.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
• Learn the basics of digital image processing and its application in facial recognition.
• Develop skills in using AI tools and frameworks to create facial recognition models.
• Gain hands-on experience in creating, training, and testing facial recognition systems.
• Understand ethical considerations and best practices in the use of facial recognition technology.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
