A website set up by RC Group, a specialist biometric company in Hong Kong, offers a free face-matching service to families of the tsunami victims in Phuket Thailand.

Photographs of the dead and injured taken by volunteers in hospitals and emergency centres in Phuket have been loaded on to the site. Families may upload photos of the missing victims which will be automatically scanned against the database using a facial mapping system. Close matches will then be emailed back for relatives to see if it is their loved one. This is a free service, and it is being updated hourly.

Thailand - internet site aids identification of tsunami victims

Source: ABC News Online

Thailand has set up a web site, http://www.csiphuket.com, for those searching for relatives and friends killed or injured in the tsunami that has swamped tourist-packed beaches along its south-west coast.

The site has been developed by volunteers, including programmers and web site developers.
It aims to put all data available on the dead and missing in one place instead of forcing people to surf over 80 sites set up to track the tragedy.

In a round-the-clock operation, volunteers in the island resort of Phuket enter data from forms filled out by those looking for people at hospitals and Buddhist temples being used as temporary morgues.

They have data on about 4,900 people listed as dead, missing and injured.

Photos of unidentified bodies, bloated and decomposing, are posted on the site, in the hope clothing or jewellery or other personal items pictured with the bodies can be used to identify them.

People can also submit missing-persons forms online.

"Once the body is identified, we take the picture out. We want to respect the families," Chitcharen Vesespadthaya, a businessman who is managing the web site, said.

The site supports seven languages, with more to be added.
