Using AI to grasp the degree of crowding of companies Each company develops technology New corona countermeasures June 12 2:59
Technology development is being carried out one after another to grasp the degree of crowding of people in stores and streets and to take measures against new coronavirus measures.
AI developed by Toshiba is artificial intelligence that recognizes the head of a person from the images of security cameras in stores and streets and instantly determines the number of people.
Keeping track of changes in the number of people, and when a place with a high density of people is found in the image, that part is displayed in red.
The company is aiming for commercialization by the end of this fiscal year, as it can grasp the number of people up to 3000 people and can analyze with a single PC even if there are many cameras such as large-scale commercial facilities.
On the other hand, NEC has developed a technology in which AI analyzes the images from the cameras to check if the distance between people is maintained.
AI displays a blue circle around the person in the image and within a radius of 1 meter.
When the circles overlap, the color changes to red, indicating that people are approaching each other.The ratio of red circles is calculated and the degree of crowding of people is shown numerically.
In addition, Sony is also working on a technology that can grasp the congestion situation etc. by incorporating an image sensor equipped with AI into the camera, and it will be connected to new coronavirus measures at places where people gather, such as stores and large facilities Various technological developments are continuing.
