New Delhi: In a landmark move towards advancing Indigenous telecommunications technology, the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), the telecom Research & Development (R&D) center under the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), has entered into an agreement with Trois Infotech for developing ‘Face Recognition Using Drone’ technology. The collaboration is part of the Telecom Technology Development Fund (TTDF) scheme, under the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF), with C-DOT as the implementing agency.
Key features of the initiative include:
It will focus on deploying drones equipped with industrial-grade, long-range cameras optimized for facial recognition, edge processing, and real-time data transmission.
The drones will utilize advanced computer vision and AI technologies to address challenges like low-light conditions, camera movement, and power constraints.
Additionally, the drones will support applications such as traffic management, emergency response, defense, and environmental monitoring.
This initiative aligns with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, aiming to foster innovation in India by supporting startups, academia, and R&D institutions in designing, developing, and commercializing advanced telecommunication solutions. The program also seeks to bridge the digital divide by facilitating affordable broadband and mobile services across India.
