As Ayodhya prepares for the historic inauguration of the Ram Mandir on January 22, the government has partnered with leading tech companies to enhance security measures in the sacred city. Gurgaon-based Artificial Intelligence startup, Staqu Technologies, takes the forefront in bolstering security with its cutting-edge AI-powered audio-video analytics software, Jarvis.
AI Surveillance for Real-Time Threat Detection
Staqu’s Jarvis, integrated into existing cameras across Ayodhya, will employ AI algorithms to analyze video footage in real-time. The software’s capabilities include the identification of suspicious activities and potential threats, triggering immediate alerts to the authorities. With an expected surge of thousands of devotees on January 22, this AI-powered surveillance system aims to ensure a secure environment.
99.7% Accuracy in Facial Recognition
The collaboration between Staqu and UP Police involves leveraging a criminal database comprising over 8,00,000 records. Jarvis, as claimed by Staqu, can identify individuals with 99.7% accuracy, aiding in the swift detection of persons of interest or potential threats. The technology facilitates real-time searches for individuals using photographs from live cameras.
Smart Cameras with Advanced Features
Staqu’s Jarvis-equipped cameras boast advanced Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) capabilities, tapping into the government’s vehicle registration database, including records of stolen vehicles. This feature enables authorities to identify vehicles with fake number plates in real time. Additionally, the system can help identify individuals in crowds based on specific attributes such as clothing, color, accessories, or accompanying children.
Strategic Installation Points in Ayodhya
The deployment of Staqu’s Jarvis extends to key locations in Ayodhya, including renowned spots like Kanak Bhawan, Hanuman Garhi, Shri Nageshwar Nath Mandir, Ram Ki Paidi, and Ram Janmabhoomi. The strategic placement of these AI-powered surveillance systems enhances overall security coverage in the pilgrimage city.
Anti-Mine Drones for Ground Scanning
In tandem with Staqu’s efforts, UP Police has introduced anti-mine drones equipped with AI-driven sensors and detection technology. These drones scan the ground for hidden landmines or explosive devices, ensuring the safety of millions of devotees visiting the holy city. The drones utilize spectrometer wavelength detection to identify potential threats beneath the ground, enabling the neutralization of mines or explosives across large areas.
As Ayodhya braces for the momentous occasion, these advanced security measures underscore the integration of technology to safeguard the pilgrimage and festivities.
