In a social medial media post, the civic body shared a video of the initiative, and said that its G/North ward had introduced the technology at Gajanan Vatika on Dr Raykar Marg in Mahim, one of the city’s garbage-vulnerable points (GVPs).
The video shared by the BMC shows a man walking along a roadside lined with parked vehicles, trees and buildings. He then bent down and placed a green plastic bag on the ground before walking away. It then shows green boxes tracked the man’s movements in real time, demonstrating how the AI-powered system detected his activity.
