The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO for the first time is eyeing the possibility of using automated technology to identify illegal constructions happening in its area. The application that CIDCO plans to develop will enable officials to do extensive area-based study with the help of high resolution satellite imagery. “This technological intervention will supplement the manual process of identifying illegal structures. The use of artificial intelligence in studying the satellite imagery of the areas will provide better clarity of the task in hand for officials, ensure that the office has robust record and bring about transparency amongst the concerned departments as well,” said the Joint Managing Director (JMD), CIDCO, Rajesh Patil.
