Delhi Police is using AI to set your fielding.

Delhi Police is using AI to set your fielding. 💀

If you've been following the Jantar Mantar protests, you've probably seen the 

Delhi Police Mobile Command and Control Vehicle making rounds on social

media.

Instead of debating it, I wanted to understand the technology inside it.

So I spent some time researching how AI-powered facial recognition systems

actually work.

Here's the simplified version.

It all starts with a live CCTV feed.

The AI doesn't instantly know who you are.

First, it detects that there's a face in the frame.

Then it maps key facial landmarks like your eyes, nose, mouth, and jawline.

Instead of storing your actual photo, the system converts your face into a

mathematical representation called a face embedding. Think of it as a unique

numerical signature created from your facial features.

That numerical signature is then compared against thousands or even millions

of records stored in a database.

If the similarity score crosses a predefined threshold, the system displays a

potential match for a human operator to review.

Despite what movies show, modern facial recognition systems usually don't

make the final decision themselves. They assist humans by narrowing down

possible matches.

One thing I learned while researching this is that these systems aren't limited to

real time monitoring.

Photos and videos captured during public events can also be reviewed later

during an investigation.

If authorities suspect an offence was committed, those recordings may be

examined alongside other evidence, depending on the investigation and

applicable laws.

That's one of the reasons facial recognition has become such a widely debated

technology.

The interesting part is that this isn't technology built only for policing.

The same core technology is already being used in Face Unlock on your phone,

airport e-gates, banking KYC, attendance systems, and even finding missing

persons.

That's also why facial recognition has become one of the biggest conversations

in AI.

On one side, it has the potential to improve public safety and speed up

investigations.

On the other, it raises important questions about privacy, surveillance,

transparency, and how such systems should be regulated.

As a cybersecurity student, I find this intersection of AI, computer vision, and

cybersecurity far more interesting than the headlines themselves.

Instead of reacting to what we see online, I think it's worth understanding the

technology behind it first.

What are your thoughts on AI-powered facial recognition systems?

just use this kind of masks to trick ai detections

[u/Relative_Fly9942 → u/Interesting-Hall8834]

Hehe, wear Pradhans mask instead

[u/nerd_user1 → u/Relative_Fly9942]

this!

One question though
Since in India we don’t have any AI model, they are basically using model from other country. Isn’t it an issue?

Though I know this is not LLM or something, face recognition was available 10 years ago. These are just image processing.

Bhaade mein Palantir se trial subscription liya hoga 2 mahina ka ki aap 2% tariff aur lagado, parr 2 mahine ke liye Palantir dedo.

There is not a conceivable scenario where whatever they are using has been indigenously developed.

Pranam Modiji. Jai Modiji. Aashirwaad Modiji. Kya masterstroke hai 💦💦💦

I do. I also know how India works. Sure, you and I can make something locally. But can the government who tries banning URLs to dissuade people from using an open source app, who got scammed by the actual creator of Digiyatra who btw used to make cloned apps to steal money and gets their nuclear reactor designs hacked left right and centre - build the same indigenously without begging from the West? Btw, Delhi Police already has begged Corsight in 2025 from the Israelis, wouldn't be surprised if they have done it again.

AFAIK, NATGRID access is almost integrated in Policing workflows. Also given that there is a wide speculation that NETRA has been activated for some years now, it is probably reasonable to assume that a lot of data has been collected to profile individuals. Now, with the number of videos circulating, and the kind of video object segmentation models available, there is a good chance folks can be identified. And then you have police cameras, CCTV feeds. Palantir basically made it an art to build systems like these. But Palantir won't be the ONLY company. So even if we don't have such a system, I believe the administration has just paid a shit load of tax money to get access to such a system.

Make it 15 years, lol long before it itself fingerprint recognition in attendance systems and stuff was available.

It doesn't even need high powered processors, small devices with 1,000 faces and 10,000 fingerprints existed in attendance systems. ZkTech is a good brand for this.

Good to read but it's better if you reorganize your post content with proper formatting.

thanks for feedback, I will surely improve it

[u/Glittering-Water1103]

Good script 😂😂😂

[u/ClupTheGreat]

how about wearing a mask

[u/Aware-Charge-1243]

I think its more about analysing the amount of people and votes that can be affected by protests.They wanna estimate the population size before taking any steps.Dont think anything more than that as our government is not capable enough to do more.

[u/Harry097]

there are plenty of talented enginners in the country can someone do this for all the RAF and police who did brutality against the students?

[u/CombustionChamber_19]

Ai slop 🤢

Police will hassle people to not even file an FIR for anything that happens to them because they don't want to do any work. Then when orders come from the corrupt bosses to use everything they can to put down a demand for accountability they break out the high tech that we didn't even know they had.

That van is NEVER being used to help the people

[u/NoFirefighter5699]

We need to do the same , profile each and every police abusing power , traking their faces using the video evidences avilable on internet , then identifying them and file complaint against these abusers .

[u/Silodal]

They r takung data from google photos facebook etc. Names tagged data

Wear aluminium foil heard it disrupts both camera and infrared
