Kolkata Police to use artificial intelligence to scan CCTV images

The Kolkata Police plans to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered software to verify CCTV images to identify real-time offenders, including helmetless bikers and vehicles illegal parking. Currently, there are 2,500 CCTV cameras in the city, out of which 125 can read licence plates. The Kolkata Police has asked the technological experts for a detailed presentation for understanding machine learning tools, which are to be used to identify helmetless bikers and illegal parking. The AI software will be installed in the number plate-reading road cameras, on the servers of police control rooms, and in the central control room. It can be achieved by embedding a card into CCTV cameras.
