NEC India to Deploy Facial Recognition Systems in Andhra Pradesh

NEC India announced that their FRS (Facial Recognition Systems) is deployed by the Andhra Pradesh State Government for large scale crowd control and traffic management. NEC’s FRS will be integrated with the CCTV surveillance cameras installed by the Vijayawada City Police at crucial spots in the prestigious religious festival performed at the river Krishna wherein 50 million pilgrims are expected to take a holy bath in the water. Thus, ensuring their safety and security becomes a big challenge.

The FRS system provides real-time identification of antisocial elements using highly intelligent live closed circuit TV feed analysis from over a thousand CCTV surveillance camera systems to assist front-line policing operations by monitoring and scanning images of suspects and criminals. The system can produce search results within a second, even when linked to a massive database of over 1.6 million records. NEC’s facial recognition algorithm has been recognized as providing the world’s highest authentication accuracy and speed.
