Future super intelligent system

Chapter 50 Shock from Technology
"Hi everyone, let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhao Jianguo, and I'm from" The person in charge of the public security department sitting on the stage began to speak. This is a middle-aged man who seems to have a sense of majesty. Five men and two women, a total of eight people came from the Public Security Bureau this time, "First of all, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in this project proposal"

Liu Fan listened carefully to every word Zhao Jianguo said. According to Zhao Jianguo, this bidding project can be regarded as an update demand for the police's existing face recognition technology in a sense.He first affirmed the contribution that facial recognition has made to public relations, security and combating crime over the years, and also produced data to support his statement.

But at the same time, Zhao Jianguo said that there are still many deficiencies in the existing face recognition technology, which is why this tender was launched, hoping that some companies can bring a relatively large leap in technology.Further assist the police in cracking down on criminals.

Face recognition has always been a difficult subject because there are too many influencing factors.In fact, the principle basis of face recognition can be simply understood as feature extraction and feature comparison and construction.

However, when the environment, light, and even the appearance of the characters themselves change, it becomes extremely difficult to extract and process features.For example, in a smoggy nighttime environment with low visibility, if you wear a hat and a mask, face recognition will basically be useless.

Not to mention problems such as visual illusions caused by many angles and incomplete face shots.

Many artificial intelligence companies now claim an accuracy rate of 99.9%, but this is all under the premise of clear resolution, normal lighting, and complete faces.

The main problems that artificial intelligence is now facing are exactly what criminals do most often, such as traveling at night, covering the face, doing cosmetic surgery, and avoiding cameras.
Therefore, the further technological revolution of face recognition has always been eagerly awaited by the police.

Zhao Jianguo clearly talked about past achievements, current needs, positioning and future plans, etc. Next, each company started to make proposals.

The order of the proposals was determined beforehand. There are a total of [-] companies, and Huawei is ranked tenth. Everyone will go up one by one according to the original order.

When the previous companies were talking about their plans, Liu Fan listened very carefully. Now Liu Fan has a desire to acquire knowledge in the artificial intelligence industry.

After listening to several plans in succession, Zhao Jianguo and others never expressed any opinions, but listened patiently.After reading everyone's plans, Liu Fan became more and more aware of the importance of algorithms. Nowadays, it is difficult for artificial intelligence to break through in various major fields. The core problem is indeed the algorithm.

The current development of hardware is still remarkable. Among the nine companies in front of Liu Fan, six mentioned hardware innovation.

After more than two hours of relatively high intensity, it was finally Liu Fan's turn.

Each company only has 15 minutes of proposal time, which basically means clearly explaining its product features and product advantages and then briefly demonstrating it.

Liu Fan and Sun Xia came on stage together, and Sun Xia simply said a few clichés.Nominally, this proposal is from Huawei, so Sun Xia must say a few words.Liu Fan didn't mind either. This was originally a mutually beneficial business cooperation. Anyone who wanted to go it alone would be foolish.

After Sun Xia finished speaking, he stepped off the stage. Liu Fan walked to the speaker position, opened the PPT and adjusted his state.

"Hi everyone, my name is Liu Fan. I'm very glad to be able to propose with so many seniors in the industry." Liu Fan casually said a few words before getting to the point, "I want to show you our technology application first, and then Let's talk technology."

Liu Fan said, and opened a video.The video is a relatively simple interface, with an input box and an output box. You can see that a photo of Sun Xia’s life is placed in the input box on the left, and then Sun Xia’s ID photo and the personal photo of Sun Xia appear in the output box on the right. information
Afterwards, the brightness of Sun Xia's photo was continuously lowered, but Sun Xia's ID photo and personal information still appeared on the right after each match.

Later, Sun Xia's photo underwent distortion, deformation, partial occlusion, etc., but Sun Xia's ID photo and personal information can still be matched on the right side.

It wasn't until Sun Xia's facial covering area reached 90% and the coverage was randomly changed more than 20 times that the ID card of another person was finally matched on the right, and it was no longer Sun Xia.

Similarly, when performing operations such as distortion and deformation, there will be certain errors in matching after reaching a certain level, but this does not affect the shocked eyes of everyone present.

If the technology in the video really exists, its true accuracy is at least three to five times that of the highest level currently on the market, no, it should be higher, because many difficulties in face recognition are difficult to digitize.

Just like running 100 meters in 20 seconds and 10 seconds, it seems to be twice the relationship, but in reality?
"Has the technology in the video been realized?" Someone in the audience couldn't help whispering, although Liu Fan said just now that our technology is used, it is still difficult for people to accept this fact for a while.

"It should be just an idea." Someone also whispered.

"What does he mean by showing everyone an idea?"

"This thing is not realistic at all. How can face recognition be realized if the features cannot be obtained."

More and more people in the audience chatted to each other while watching, and among the eight people sitting on the stage, only a few people couldn't sit still, as if they really wanted Liu Fan to turn off the video quickly and tell everyone that this technology was realized Is it?But seeing Zhao Jianguo still sitting calmly, the others did not dare to act without authorization.It can only be itchy.

Liu Fan didn't notice everyone's reaction, and continued to play the video at his own pace.But when the video was over, he turned his head and saw everyone staring at him like a pack of wolves, he was really shocked.

Zhao Jianguo coughed suddenly whether intentionally or unintentionally, and Liu Fan came back to his senses, and quickly returned to the state of speech, "Due to limited time, many special situations have not been shown to you for the time being. But I believe that everyone has already paid attention to our face The identification technology has a general concept."

"Have you really realized the technology just now?" Someone in the audience couldn't help asking.

"Ah."

A simple yet firm word, but it suddenly hit the hearts of everyone present.

Zhao Jianguo, who had been sitting still, finally showed an elusive light in his eyes.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Liu Fan kept telling himself to stay calm. While maintaining his emotional stability, Liu Fan continued, "Next, let me tell you about the technical concept."
