Abstract
During the festival seasons, the crowds in the shopping malls become eight to ten times more than regular times. To impress maximum number of customers, business owners offer discounts, arrange raffle draws, game competitions, and many other events. They decorate their showrooms with eye-catching banners and lighting effects. These excellent marketing strategies work and increase customers’ engagements. However, the curious minds of children are attracted by these events more than those of adults. As a result, missing children in the shopping malls have become a common incident during festival seasons. Whenever a child is missing, shopping mall managements announce it though central sound system and normally if the people see the missing child, they bring it back to mall management’s office and the officials hand it over to the parents. This method depends on the generosity of the people and does not guarantee the return of the child. Moreover, the children kidnappers can take advantage of the announcement of missing child. In this paper, we are proposing a method that depends on eigenfaces which is fast, efficient yet simple to implement and ensure the recovery of the missing children in shortest possible time.
