Pakistan to Develop Facial Recognition Video Surveillance System

[Zarvan]

Pakistan is all set to bring the latest technology services to they country and is using artificial intelligence to improve system of video surveillance by announcing to introduce a facial recognition feature to it.

The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunications (MOiTT) is currently working to develop a new system for facial recognition that will be used in video surveillance.

This Pakistan news was disclosed by the official sources at National ICT R&D Fund, now known as Ignite two days ago.

It was said by the official sources that facial recognition in video surveillance is one of the best ways to reduce all the security threats within the metropolis and in a country like Pakistan, where threats roam around in the air, this feature is very important.

Video surveillance along with facial recognition is at the moment, the best choice that can be used for security and safety purposes. With the increasing threats in every city of Pakistan, the need for this type of security system is inevitable.

The project is in the process and is estimated to cost around Rs. 13.84 million and is being developed under the name of ‘Design and Development of an FPGA-Based Multi-Scale Face Recognition System.’ by PAF-Karachi Institute of Economics and Technology.

It has been said that these systems, like all the other systems can be hacked and fooled too. But it will definitely make things easier for every person in the city.

Further use of technology in Pakistan specifically for security purposes:
Previously, the police of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa launched a mobile application for the people of Peshawar that would identify the location of the crime immediately. This app can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store, or from the website of the KP police. Also, the app offers number of all the police stations within the city for emergency purposes

Telenews.pk is owned by Telemart Online Shopping Store. Most of the shittie news you'll find there lol..Ignore it man.

This face recognition technology has been there for some time and I'm surprise that no one bother to include this in Pakistan.

Same is case with automatic number plate recognition

well the corrupters dont like it they dont want to see thier devil faces on camera.

One of my friends had done a university project about real time image processing using FPGA so this isn't that hard in this day and age.

Oh for hell's sake just buy it and name it a funky arabic name... what a bother.

 

[YeBeWarned]

start from Pak-Afghan border

 

[Amaa'n]

Same is case with automatic number plate recognition

that is already there in major cities, ..Safe city project has all been about APNR.....so that has been around.....

An entrepreneur working with major US companies appeared in Neo News show "idea croron ka". He is developing various softwares on artificial intelligence. He also collected 10 million investment from an investor in the show. Pakistanis are talented but our system is preventing them to do miracles.

 

[Path-Finder]

I think what the real news is although face recognition systems exist in all forms. But this will be a inhouse effort which means complete control will be in the states hand. The backdoor surveillance or sabotage by an external monitoring factors will not be an issue which is the case with imported hardware and software.

Gotta see it to believe it

Oh peyn di siri kerhy siri© di peyn chawk laey nay ?

Good move overall. But it should be on separated network. Not on public internet..

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

China is leading authority
Make sense to have this at all Airports / Bus stops / Busy markets and places

Specially at Highways when cars enter / leave highway segments pay tool
if known convict is travelling across highways can be nabbed easily

Bank ATM areas all connected to central scan system

Too often we have crime in Banking areas where person comes in during mid day etc with faces visible
