Researchers have developed a real-time edge vision pipeline designed to assist in combating child labor by detecting children and estimating their ages. This system, built as a research prototype, significantly improves upon previous detection methods, achieving a higher mean average precision and a much lower mean absolute error in age estimation for children. The pipeline has demonstrated substantial gains in detection yield and identity consolidation in a field pilot, while also documenting challenges and necessary safeguards for data protection and human oversight.
