Padecco India secured a contract for Mumbai Metro’s surveillance project, covering 80 metro stations with 15–20 cameras per station (FOB, Platform, Ticketing Area, Entry-Exit). The project involves processing 7 days of video data per camera to generate analytical reports for the Padecco team.

Use Cases Implementation:

  • Male-Female Detection – Deployed custom YOLOv8 model for gender classification on FOB cameras.
  • Head Count Detection – Used custom YOLOv8 model for real-time crowd estimation on platform cameras.
  • Queue Length Estimation – Tracked queue lengths at ticketing areas to analyze congestion.
  • Peak Hour ROI Analysis – Analyzed crowd density trends, peak-hour statistics, and male-to-female ratio in different regions of interest (ROIs) over time.
  • Optimized Processing Pipeline – Integrated DeepStream Python pipeline for high-speed inference and efficiency.
  • Hardware Acceleration – Used NVIDIA A6000, RTX 4090, and RTX 3090 for scalable batch inference.
  • Automated Workflow – Developed Python Shell scripts for complete automation of video processing.
  • Data Storage Post-Processing – Stored 7 days of inference results in Excel sheets, followed by analytical reporting.
  • Video Format Standardization – Used FFmpeg MEncoder to convert .DAT, .AVI, .H264 to MP4 for seamless processing.
  • Team Collaboration – Worked in an 8-member tech team, supported by 2 additional team members.

Technologies Used: DeepStream 6.1.1/6.2, YOLOv5 CrowdHuman model, YOLOv8s Male/Female model, OpenCV, Linux Scripting, GStreamer, Pandas, NVIDIA.

Developed a conversational AI assistant that converts natural language queries into safe, optimized SQL queries for MySQL. The project leverages RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to provide accurate, context-aware responses while ensuring database safety.

Use Cases Implementation:

  • SQL Safety & Optimization – Implemented safety checks to prevent destructive commands (DROP, TRUNCATE, DELETE, UPDATE) and added auto-LIMIT for large queries.
  • Advanced Query Handling – Enabled retrieval of last N records, COUNT queries, aggregation, and date range filtering directly from natural language input.
  • LLM-Driven Error Correction – Integrated language model-based correction to automatically fix SQL query errors on execution failures.
  • Rich CLI Interface – Built interactive CLI dashboards with table visualization using Rich, CSV export, and image handling from database blobs, file paths, or URLs.
  • Multi-Turn Conversation Support – Maintained session memory to handle follow-up queries and context-aware interactions.
  • Prompt Engineering – Applied structured prompt engineering to Gemini LLM for generating syntactically correct SQL queries.
  • Impact – Reduced manual SQL query effort by 80% for non-technical users, improving speed, accuracy, and reporting efficiency.
