GUWAHATI: The Red Fort will be equipped with artificial intelligence-based security systems with enhanced surveillance features and automated crowd estimation facilities for the upcoming Independence Day celebrations on August 15.
CCTVs having video analytics features will be deployed at important locations at the venue. The intelligence video surveillance system will have features like a vehicle number plate recognition system, face detection, people movement counting, tripwire, audio detection, intrusion, defocus, and abandoned or missing objects.
As per reports, security agencies will use AI-armed cameras to count the entry and exit of people inside the premises and to obtain accurate, real-time estimations of crowd sizes within the venue.
One of the key components of the upgraded security apparatus is an advanced facial recognition system. This technology can identify individuals from both live camera feeds and recorded video footage, efficiently matching faces against existing watchlist databases.
Besides, a new number plate recognition system will be implemented. This technology will conduct continuous 24/7 video processing to detect and record vehicle plates in real time.
Meanwhile, Delhi police will be deploying more than 700 CCTVs and more than 150 cameras having video analytics features.
While AI-based systems offer a significant advancement in security measures, human personnel will continue to play a crucial role in maintaining safety during the high-profile event.
More than 10,000 security personnel, including Delhi police and paramilitary jawans, will be deployed in and around the Red Fort and other crucial locations in central and north Delhi.
