In crime fight, AI cameras give Bengaluru cops a leg-up

Bengaluru: Facial recognition software being used by the Bengaluru police has identified 2.5 lakh faces with a criminal background across the city in the last 90 days, leading to the arrest of at least 10 people, according to data accessed by DH.

The Facial Recognition System (FRS) was introduced on a pilot basis in Bengaluru under the Safe City Project. The cameras are connected to the FRS set up at the police command centre.

Police are now focusing on stabilising and improving the system’s accuracy.
