Description[ ]
The facial features of at least 10,000 persons with a criminal track-record are being fed into the system, which would ring the alarm whenever they come in contact with the cameras. The unique feature of the system is that even if the suspect changes his/her visible features, it will still recognise them, thanks to the facial recognition software that encompasses facial contours and dimensions captured digitally. 1
With 110 surveillance cameras installed in Orgadam (that has a large number of factories with thousands of migrant labourers) and 31 in Kancheepuram bus stand, Superintendent of Police M. Sudhakar hopes that cases like child-lifting, baggage thefts and rowdyism would be minimised to a large extent. 1
