The face is one of the distinguishable marks of humans. Face Recognition can be used as a personal identification system that uses the unique characteristics of a person to identify a person’s identity. Some of the existing applications of face recognition systems are Biometric Information Process, Human-Computer Interaction, Deployment and Security Services, Criminal Identification, Health Care, Access and Security and so on. In general finger prints were used for identifying criminals. In this paper, we focus our task to Criminal Identification through face recognition technology. Here we maintain the images of criminals in a database. When an image is given as an input to the system, using a face recognition algorithm, the system needs to identify whether the inputted image exists in the criminal list or not. If exists then displays the name of the identified criminal otherwise displays as unknown.
