Project : Guinness World Record - Plaque and Announcement
ESDS Software Solutions Ltd. (where I work currently) was lately the technical facilitator for the School Education Department of the Government of Maharashtra, towards conducting a state level slogan competition, the winner of which was rewarded by a lunch with the chief minister of Maharashtra.
Brief Context
One of the records (total of 3) they were going for was the most number of handwritten notes uploaded to a bespoke platform in 24 hours.
The scale of photos we were talking about is 1.4e6. Post the pipelines we applied:
- a meta-data based deduplication filter
- an unsupervised anomaly detection filter (need to really have a handwritten note)
- a tampering detection filter (no editing - used Error level analysis)
The final reported qualified collection was around 1.1e6 handwritten notes which were verified and the record plaque was presented on 5th of March 2024.
The previous record was for around 1e4 images.
