Abstract
This paper presents an advanced face recognition system for identifying potential criminals using Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) footage.The model is trained using a diverse dataset comprising facial images with variations in age, ethnicity, gender, lighting conditions, and facial expressions (such as smiling, frowning, and wearing glasses).The system leverages deep learning techniques, specifically a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with a pre-trained VGG16 architecture integrated with the Keras library for extracting complex facial features.OpenCV is utilized for video preprocessing, frame extraction, and real-time deployment.The model utilizes transfer learning, optimized with the Adam algorithm and a cross-entropy loss function, to enhance its generalization across diverse facial features.The VGG16 model demonstrates strong performance, achieving an accuracy of 97.6%, recall of 96.9%, precision of 97.5%, and an F1-score of 96.9%.This system is designed for real-time surveillance applications, ensuring fast and accurate criminal identification with minimal human intervention.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
