Service: Hansken - Faster search of photographs because of smart algorithm

Responsible organisation: Police, NFI (Central-Government)

There must be a more efficient way of doing this, thought the data scientists at the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI), and so they developed the Forensic Image Recognition Engine (FIRE) software library. Working on the basis of existing models, the experts created a machine learning algorithm that, after ‘training’, is able to find the proverbial needle in the haystack. Using artificial intelligence is not just interesting in drugs cases involving shipping containers but can also be valuable for many other police investigations. Above all, automating the search process saves massive amounts of time and frees up police officers for other tasks.
