DRDO Develops ‘AINA’ AI-based Contact-less Attendance System Requiring Minimal Upgrade
- The Research Centre Imarat (RCI), DRDO has successfully developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Attendance Application (AINA), which allows non-contact based personnel verification using facial features of a person captured with the help of a low cost camera.
- According to an official release, with the Covid-19 pandemic making it unsafe to use contact based biometric verification for attendance marking systems, the RCI had developed AINA to circumvent this problem.
- AINA can be deployed with minimal up-gradation to the legacy attendance infrastructure with radio frequency identification reader (RFID) readers.
- It can be installed on a normal desktop computer with a GPU based display adapter.
- Existing CCTV cameras can be utilised for capturing facial images. Facial features of several thousands of employees can be stored in the computer since for each employee the facial features are encoded in a small (less than 25 KB) file.
- The system is fully scalable since the time for identification and verification for each person remains constant even as the number of registered personnel increases, according to the release.

- The server storing the facial feature database is confined to the organization premises. AINA has a light-weight installation process. AINA comes with a very intuitive and user-friendly GUI with audio prompts which can be optionally disabled.
