Abstract
Currently, the issue of missing persons is a growing concern in our country. Every day, there are increasing reports of individuals, ranging from young children to the elderly, going missing. Unfortunately, many of these individuals are never found due to the significant challenges faced by authorities in conducting effective searches. This research aims to address this problem by implementing a mobile application leveraging facial recognition technology to assist in locating missing persons, specifically targeting university students. To develop this application, we utilized a flexible methodology designed to gather essential data, provide an introduction to face detection, and demonstrate the application’s functionality. We created prototypes to simulate the application's operation, which were then tested by a selected group of university students. The feedback from these students was overwhelmingly positive, indicating the feasibility and potential success of this project.
