Indian Govt Develops Face Recognition System To Spot Anti-Social Elements With Mask On

New Delhi, August 18: The Indian authorities has developed a facial recognition system that may establish anti-social components with or with out disguise, with face masks or monkey caps on, even in low-resolution pictures at restricted zones in addition to public locations.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD), in its newest report titled ‘AI in Defence’, revealed the Face Recognition System underneath Disguise (FRSD), together with different AI-based techniques, mainly developed for the Indian Military.

‘Face recognition within the wild’ on surveillance digicam feeds is a troublesome drawback to unravel because of the low decision of the photographs captured from the cameras. This drawback turns into much more difficult to unravel with the added complexity of assorted facial disguises, crowd occlusions and diverse illuminations.

Based on the MoD report, the FRSD algorithm has been educated in such a manner that the face recognition system can see via a number of disguises like face-masks, beard, moustache, wigs, sun shades, head-scarves, monkey caps and hats, and so on. Aside from the disguises, the system additionally considers totally different lighting circumstances, shadows on face, crowd occlusions, and so on. Delhi Worldwide Airport Ltd Launches Beta Model of ‘DigiYatra’ App.

“The system can be deployed at restricted/secure zones for the purpose of live video surveillance. It can also be deployed at public places to recognise anti-social elements,a the report mentioned. The algorithm can also be used by security agencies for robust face search across large repositories.

The system is designed to ensure scalability across multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) and servers. In addition, the system is optimized to ensure maximum utilisation of GPUs and thus can support multiple surveillance cameras on a single GPU.

The system comes with a flexible video analytics suite with a number of additional surveillance applications like people counting, geo-fencing, fire detection and collision detection, the report explained.

Another AI-based solution called the seeker system is a self-contained, facial recognition, surveillance, monitoring, and analysis system for identification and tracking of threats for counter terrorism, continuous surveillance, and monitoring of disturbed areas.

Additionally, the system can be employed for ensuring state-of-the-art security of critical military/civilian establishments and monitoring at border-crossing points.

“The AI-powered analytics module permits processing of Intelligence information from numerous sources to establish and monitor motion of terrorists and anti-national components aided by correct data assortment,” said the MoD report. The Defence industry is taking concrete steps in transforming the armed forces into one of the most advanced in the world.

The introduction of autonomy in weapon systems, in ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), data management, can be a huge asset in stopping terrorism, installing counter-terrorism measures, protecting soldiers. “The truth is, AI in defence can change fight and battle on the deepest ranges,” the report mentioned.
