Abstract: Forensic Sketch to digital face matching is an important research challenge and is very pertinent to law enforcement agencies. As a special forensic art, face sketching is traditionally done manually by police sketch artists. As a result of rapid advancements in computer graphics, realistic animations, human computer interaction, visualization, and face biometrics, sophisticated facial composite software tools have been developed and utilized in law enforcement agencies. Face sketching is a forensic technique that has been routinely used in criminal investigations. Forensic sketches are drawn based on the recollection of an eyewitness person and the expertise of a sketch artist. Because face sketches represent the original faces in a very concise yet recognizable form, they play an important role in criminal investigations, human visual perception, and face bio- metrics. This paper presents an efficient technique called Cascade object detection with viola jones technique for face detection, also features of face is being extracted by using Extended uniform circular linear binary pattern method.
