New Delhi: Centre of Excellence on Satellite & Unmanned Remote Vehicle Initiative (CoE-SURVEI) has developed an Artificial Intelligence-based software which can automatically detect change on ground, including unauthorised constructions and encroachments in a time series using Satellite Imagery. The CoE-SURVEI, established by Directorate General Defence Estates (DGDE) at National Institute of Defence Estates Management, leverages latest technologies in survey viz. The CoE was inaugurated by Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh on December 16, 2021. This Change Detection Software has been developed by CoE-SURVEI in collaboration with knowledge partner Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Visakhapatnam. Presently, the tool uses National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) Cartosat-3 imagery with trained software.

What if a car is operated by hand gestures or an automated rover that cleans the floor? Well, around 90 engineering students from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are working on such innovative concepts to make them a reality. The students, all final year engineering students from reputed educational institutions in the two Telugu States, are here in the city for a two-month internship programme as part of which they work on several artificial intelligence-based projects and developing apps to understand the nitty-gritty of the Internet of Things (IoT). Students from National Institute of Technology (NIT) Warangal, GITAM College of Engineering in Visakhapatnam and GMR Institute of Technology in Srikakulam among others have formed a talent pool that is working simultaneously on various software projects. They have made two floors of a three-storied building at Atchampeta on the city outskirts their workplace while they are putting up in paying guest accommodations and rented houses near their office premises.
