ShepHertz rolled out AI-based solution called SchoolProtect.

Recently the ShepHertz, a company that provides a platform for digitization has rolled out an AI-based solution called SchoolProtect. This project is meant for Indian schools to protect the students from unusual harms like raging. Despite being a ban on ragging in schools by UGC, still, the statistics show some different scenario. A total of 917 cases were registered in 2017 compared to 515 the previous year, and these do not include the incidents that went unreported. SchoolProtect aims to address and solve all these issues so that the schools can go back to be the safe and secure institutional places.

The SchoolProtect is a facial recognition solution that armed with ShepHertz Applied Artificial Intelligence & Geofencing services. How does this solution work? Actually, it works by matching the faces in the camera footage against a registered database of photographs. The solution can fetch attributes of recognized faces such as the name of the students or faculty members, their division, their parents/spouse, and their age.

Along with the ability to detect known and unknown people on the TV monitor, its intelligent alarm system will be able to pro-actively trigger as soon as any incident begins to happen, including scenarios like a person who is neither a student nor belongs to the faculty or the management is entering the school so that the security can validate if the person has authentic reasons of being inside the school premises.

School buses, which have cameras installed, can be powered with this solution to ensure complete child safety during transit. The solution will enable schools in analyzing threats in a better way by recognizing expelled students, local substance dealers, people who have posed threat in the past, unusual behavior or any person entering prohibited areas.

Besides security features, the solution also supports attendance management of students, teachers & staff and in future will support the ability to analyze classroom behavior through gestures and emotions. Through an intuitive dashboard, SchoolProtect provides comprehensive descriptive, predictive & prescriptive analytics.
