In past 5 years, Department of Atomic Energy collaborated with academic institutions for various AI/ML related research projects and programmes which are Robust Shape based Face Recognition System & Robust and Scalable Computer Vision Systems for Smart Multi Camera Video Surveillance. 

The details of the projects and programmes undertaken in collaboration with academic institutions in these domains are: 

1. Early detection of breast cancer using thermal/infrared imaging.  AI application for classification of the lesions mapped by infrared images.
2. Diabetic eye diseases detection and classification using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).
3. Unsupervised radiation field mapping inside cyclotron vault
4. Unsupervised area surveillance by drone
5. Indian sign language coder and decoder
6. Video compression for low bit rate video conferencing
7. Neutron Gamma separation for DAQ system

 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning related research is carried out through projects in last five years.  3 Projects costing Rs. 180 crores were under execution and around Rs. 53 crores have been utilized. 

AI and ML research along with high performance computing has enabled processing of large volumes of data. This has resulted in development of applications in all the domains. It has also led to several developments in Security and Cyber Security. Development of AI based video analytics and Cyber Security tools were initiated and has resulted in mature technologies. Indigenous products such as Secured Network Access System (SNAS) has become a backbone of Cyber security.

DAE network is a very large network and millions of events are generated every day. Event Monitoring Systems, designed to analyze massive amounts of data and provide summarized results for display has been developed and integrated with SNAS. These systems operate seamlessly round the clock (24/7), ensuring continuous vigilance and timely insights.

This information was given by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
