IIT Hyderabad has developed dataset and AI-based algorithms to detect mobile phone usage. It is said that the research provides a tool to monitor and automatically detect usage of mobile-phone usage
As reported by Times Now, Research Scholar Poonam Pandey said that algorithms based on deep-learning to detect mobile-phone usage was used in the research process. These algorithms achieved nearly 99 percent accuracy on the Kaggle Driver dataset and 96% accuracy on the IITH-DMU dataset.
Dr. Sparsh Mittal led this research with his research scholars Ms. Poonam Rajput and Mr. Subhrajit Nag. Dr. Sparsh was with the CSE Department, IIT Hyderabad
The results of this work have been accepted in the peer-reviewed conference "International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good 2020", held at Belgium 2020.
