21 Jan
Summary
- AI smart glasses with facial recognition and thermal imaging debut.
- Glasses instantly identify suspects against criminal database.
- Thermal imaging detects hidden weapons, enhancing officer safety.
For the first time, Delhi Police will utilize AI-enabled smart glasses equipped with facial recognition and thermal imaging for enhanced Republic Day security. These glasses connect to officers' mobile phones, granting access to a comprehensive criminal database.
Officers can instantly identify individuals with criminal records, as indicated by a red alert, while those cleared appear in a green box. The system can even match older photographs, making it difficult for suspects to evade detection.
Beyond facial recognition, the smart glasses feature thermal imaging to detect concealed weapons, adding a critical layer of security. This technology aims to strengthen spot identification and reduce reliance on manual checks during the high-profile event.
The deployment is part of a wider tech-driven security strategy, which includes extensive CCTV, drone surveillance, and AI analytics. Similar facial recognition and AI features will also be integrated into moving police vehicles for mobile patrol teams.
