SAFE CROWDS · FEATURED RAKE
Kumbh Watch
Real-time crowd monitoring for mass gatherings.
What is it?
Turns live camera feeds into a crowd-density map for gatherings the size of the Kumbh Mela, raises an alert when a zone behaves abnormally, and gives people an AI voice line for emergencies.
Why I built it
At the scale of the Kumbh Mela, minutes matter. Operators need to see density building before it becomes a crush.
What I actually built
- YOLOv8 person detection, density heatmaps and anomaly detection.
- Live RTSP camera feeds over WebSockets.
- An AI emergency voice service with a knowledge base.
