Advances in the field of sketch recognition would have significant application in the field of forensic science, in which sketches are often used to identify suspects associated with a crime.[4][5]
In 2023, two developers used OpenAI'sDallE-2 image generation platform to create a forensic sketch program. The program's results were described as "hyper-realistic" and purported the potential of exponentially decreasing the creation time of a forensic sketch, while increasing accuracy.[6]
