THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The state police have onboarded an internally developed AI-based tool to help personnel identify objects from visual data. The tool — developed by Thrissur city police in January this year — was selected by the department for statewide use, assessing that it can help tremendously in criminal investigation.

Drawn up by ASP Hardik Meena, an IIT graduate now serving with the Perumbavoor sub-division, the tool can detect vehicles and pedestrians from any visual including CCTV footage.
