What for ?
For their breakthrough innovation in remotely
identifying persons running high body temperature ( one of the first symptoms
of Corona virus ) , using a drone
Explain a little
more
:
Here is a write-up from their web site [ https://www.aiotize.com/ > Contact ] :
=================================
Using our Ai powered drones with thermal cameras & sensors, crowd scanning
for potential carriers would be a great value add.
These cameras provide the real-time heat signatures of the subjects to the backend
which is programmed to apply thermal sensing analytics to the heat signature.
If the temperature of any subject is beyond the threshold it would raise a
flag to the authorities or healthcare units nearby.
In current scenarios & the difficult times, Aiotize pledges to help
those who are fighting to eradicate the outbreak with its innovation &
technology.
It is our moral duty to give back to the society which has raised us
when we started our mission.
========================================================
Is there a Video to show how
exactly this works ?
Of course . Here is that Video ( on Facebook / 07 April, 2020 ) :
=======================================================
Why are you excited
about this ?
Three weeks earlier,
in my email ( 15 March 2020 ), to the Cabinet
ministers , I wrote :
[ Source : Marriage
of Technologies to contain Corona ? Yes !
]
To make this “ happen “, just “ imagine “ this :
For decades , militaries around the world have
been using ‘ Night
Vision Binoculars “
to detect enemies from a long distance , using “ Thermal Imaging “ technology
For a couple of years now, governments ( mostly,
police departments ) around the world have been using CCTV cameras located all over a city, to
catch suspected persons, using “ Facial Recognition “ technology
I imagine that , one day soon, some tech Startup [ or ” L&T Smart World and Communications “ which was
responsible for installation of the first 10,000 CCTV in Hyderabad ], will find a way to combine both these technologies so that
those ubiquitous CCTV cameras will catch, not only the facial images of thousands of citizen walking on
the roads but
also measure the Body Temperature of the persons ( as being done currently , using a
small hand-held device at airports )
Then send out “ Corona Catch Team Volunteers [ CCTV ] “ to the
residence of the person found to be running high temperature !
[ Facial Recognition Tech would connect with Master Database of Citizen, comprising Name / Aadhar No / Contact Details / Addresses etc ]
=========================================================
Did you give up
after sending this email ?
No Sir !
These are my follow-up emails :
Ø Corona
Virus Testing Capacity [ 16 March 2020 ]
Ø Sankalp
– Sanyanm – Shastra [ 20 March 2020 ]
Extract from this mail :
Remotely detecting
every citizen running high body temperature
Thermal Imaging software embedded into roadside CCTV cameras ( with Infrared
Night Vision ) all over the cities / towns ( or embedded into cameras mounted
on Drones ) + embedded Facial
Recognition Software + Software to link
each captured face with Aadhar Database ( photo + Biometric ) of all citizen
This combination of hardware and software, will
instantly “ identify / detect “any
citizen running a high temperature ( as soon
as his face is visible on CCTV / Drone
based camera ) and,
Send
him SMS on his mobile to go for VIRUS TEST at the nearest test lab ( giving
address of that lab ). No need for any separate “authorization “ from
anyone . And
no payment of testing fees ( Govt to DBT to private labs , upon
uploading of TEST
RESULTS on Govt Health Portal )
Send SMS to the concerned lab , giving full
details of the person
Send SMS to
all other concerned Government Authorities / Health Portals
Repeated “
face image capture “ by different cameras at different times and
different locations, will track the
journey of such an individual . This path will show
up on the Dashboard of the CENTRAL CONTROL CENTRE for COVID [ 4C ]
========================================================
How many DRONES ( mounted with
thermal sensing cameras ) will be required ?
In 2011, we had 7935
Cities / Towns ( all class ) . May be 10,000 by now
Let us assume that, on average, we need 100 drones to monitor each town (
with only 50 drones being active at any given time – rest having their
batteries being charged )
Hence we need 10 lakh drones ( 1 MILLION )
=========================================================
How much would such a DRONE ARMY
cost ?
If mass-produced, I assume such a drone can be procured by the Central
Government for Rs 20,000 each ( Rate Contract for all manufacturers / suppliers
– whether Indian or Foreign / with STANDARDIZED working specifications )
That works out to Rs 20,000 million = Rs 2,000 crore ( affordable )
A far better arrangement would be for the Central Government to get
these on a LEASE RENTAL , with payment (
rental fee ) , linked to :
Ø Hours of flying ,
or even better,
Ø Numbers of “
Person Images “ captured / relayed to National Health Vault database server,
irrespective of whether capture was “ Normal “ or “ High “ temperature
========================================================
Are there enough domestic Drone
Manufacturers ?
There are at least 50 drone manufacturers ( StartUps ) in India
I suppose, each can produce / deliver, 1000 drones / month = 50,000
drones / month
Hence 10 lakh may take 20 months
Since such a prolonged delivery period is unacceptable , foreign imports
are inevitable
============================
==========================
What do you suggest as the NEXT
STEP ?
I urge Dr HarshVardhanji and Shri RaviShankar Prasadji , to urgently
call the office bearers of :
T : +91 981 999 5473
E: info@dronefederation.in
E: info@dronefederation.in
To chalk out a TIME BOUND delivery schedule
========================================================
