The facial recognition attendance system for workers introduced by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has seen significant savings and reduction of expenditure, the corporation said on Thursday, June 20. The monthly expenditure in terms of payment with the facial recognition is about Rs 31 crores, while it was Rs 33.5 crores with the Aadhar biometric system earlier.
The application uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and verifies changes in the facial features with “liveness detection”, said the GHMC.
