Overview
- The AI Centre of Excellence in GIFT City has tasked a private agency to build a computer-vision system that recognizes cows using unique nose patterns plus facial marks and eyes.
- The proposed tool is designed to match detections against the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s database of roughly 1.1 lakh RFID‑tagged and microchipped cattle.
- Live images from about 126 to 130 smart CCTV junctions would feed the model to identify stray cows and retrieve registered owner details in real time.
- Officials say the approach aims to replace today’s labor‑intensive, manual photo‑to‑RFID checks and to cut traffic disruptions and cattle‑related accidents.
- Project status remains pre‑deployment, with solutions prepared for a steering or operational committee’s review and any rollout contingent on approval and further testing.
