CampaignDescription

In China, about 2 million children have been missing for many years. Their parents have never given up looking for them. The parents still rely on the childhood photos to look for them, but missing children’s faces have drastically changed as they age. So our idea was born. Create the current faces of missing children. Based on the surviving photos of missing children, we create computer avatar models. With the help of experts, we combine the facial information and DNA of their parents with the growth algorithm of children, to simulate the change of children’s faces scientifically. The current appearance of the missing children would be accurately created. We create new posters and use them to replace the old posters. More and more current versions of the missing children are produced. Now the parents can rely on these current face models of missing children to search for them accurately.

Synopsis

In China, there are over 2 million children have been missing for many years. Even though their children have been missing for many years, the parents have never given up looking for them. Unfortunately, only 0.1% of the missing children can be found. The most critical issue is that, they still rely on the childhood photos of their children to look for them, but their children’s faces have drastically changed as they age. It is hard to find them as the faces on the search notices do not match the current faces. So Baobeihuijia, a Search Help NGO wants to do something to help them search more accurately.
