Age progression portrait drawing to find missing people

Oniria Hernández

Abstract

The yearly amount of Missing persons is a big issue in Mexico, just like the case of Perla Alondra Bolaños Cruz, who disappeared in 2014 when she was 22. One way to solve this problem is the missing person posters issued by civil and government associations. However, another problem is that missing people face's on these posters change their features over time. So, this investigation proposes the creation of an age progression portrait drawing. By making drawings out of photographs of both the missing person and their family members, and the study of the human face aging process. As a result, Perla Alondra's age progression portrait, as she would look in 2022, age 30. The association that issued Perla Alondra's first missing person poster, the AMNRDAC (as in Spanish, Mexican Association of Stolen and Disappeared Children Civil Association), already has this portrait to continue the investigation
