Abstract
Anveshak: The Explorer is an AI-powered mobile platform designed to help reunite lost persons with their families through secure, automated, and verified matching. It allows both finders and concerned parties to register, upload photos, and provide valid ID proofs. Using a rule-based text and AI-assisted image matching system, Anveshak quickly compares facial and descriptive data with stored records to identify potential matches. Cloudinary is used for efficient image storage, and Firebase handles authentication and real-time data management. A feedback and admin-controlled communication system ensures security, privacy, and transparency throughout the process. Overall, Anveshak provides a reliable, technology-driven approach to enhance public safety and speed up the search and reunion of missing individuals.
