LACE (“Law Enforcement Against Child Exploitation") software suite enables investigators to efficiently categorise vast amounts of image & video data from confiscated computers, dramatically reducing (85-95%) the time and resources required to bring a case to court. Using advanced biometric analysis, faces found in images are automatically extracted and compiled to create lists of victims and suspects or matched against existing facial databases.
LACE enables participating law enforcements agencies worldwide to share investigative work results ensuring that all participants benefit from each agency’s efforts and thus maximizing available resources.
