India, not to be left behind, has seen adoption of these technologies in different areas over the last few months, be it for monitoring crowd or nabbing criminals in Kumbh Mela and Durga Puja. Then there is the Trinetra app by Gurugram-based startup Staqu which has empowered police in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab by providing them with a face recognition tool which allows officials on the ground to identify faces and look for potential matches in centralised database which has photos and records of thousands of criminals.
Now Uttar Pradesh has deployed an AI enabled video analytics platform, called Jarvis, in 70 prisons across the state for multi-purpose analytics. Developed by Staqu, the platform will analyse feeds from the 700 surveillance cameras installed across these prisons. The key activities that will be evaluated include frisking of inmates or visitors by officials, crowd analysis, acts of violence and detection of prison breaches or unauthorised access. If the platform picks up any violation or illegal activities that it is supposed to flag, it will notify the prison authorities, so they can act swiftly.
