Drishti AI-Event Guardian: An Intelligent Real-Time Crowd Monitoring and Emergency Response System for Mass Gathering Events
Researchers have developed Drishti AI-Event Guardian, a real-time crowd monitoring system designed to enhance safety at mass gathering events. The framework utilizes deep learning models, including YOLOv8 and gradient-boosted regression, to process data from CCTV and UAVs for crowd density estimation, anomaly detection, and predictive crowd-flow modeling. Key features include facial recognition for missing persons, automated medical emergency dispatch, a conversational AI chatbot for incident reporting, and dynamic guard reallocation based on crowd density.
