PM Narendra Modi has the vision to make Varanasi scenic, progressive, safe, clean and unified. Being a Prime Ministers’ constituency, the city has attracted the world’s attention. The entire concept of Varanasi smart city project which is focused on Varanasi’s socio-economic growth, cleanliness, smooth traffic movement opted for Mirasys’s deep learning-based analytics. Mirasys unsupervised learning methods include Comparative, Adaptive and Hermeneutic methodology for different adverse conditions. The same used to implement solutions effectively in indoors, outdoors, specific areas, etc.
The Challenges for the project were:
• Tighten city Security
• Improve Crowd Management
• Decongest city Road

The following used cases are implemented for the smart city solution
• Intrusion detection / Virtual fence
• Congestion Detection/People Counting/Crowd Gathering –
