Intelligent online web based interactive missing person clothing identification system

Abstract

In this paper we describe a novel intelligent web based system which employs human feedback and evaluation to assist an Internet user to interactively identify the clothing of a missing person. It is novel in terms of employing GA to interactively create different shirt designs. It also illustrates human-centeredness from two perspectives. Firstly, from a multimedia information system perspective, in order to capture the user semantics it employs user feedback. Secondly, from a computational intelligence perspective the user is involved in defining objective function of a GA agent for optimizing search. The system can be used by the law enforcement authorities to identify the type, color and design of the shirt worn by a missing person. It has been tested on a small number of users with encouraging results.
