“The largest use of face recognition and, a bit wider, video analytics ... is used in China. And there, as we see, the results are quite serious in this work, the quarantine was quite quickly completed ... So far we only have a face recognition system, when we have a list of people who should be quarantined: if they enter the city, a notification comes relevant services, ”he said during RT’s stream“ Beautiful Russia boo boo boo ”.

According to him, in the case of China, "the system works a little wider."

“There is video analytics related to silhouettes, tracking contacts, and so on. That is, they are quite broadly able to identify not only the infected person - he leaves, he does not leave - but also the circle of his contacts, and, accordingly, these people should be warned that they need to isolate themselves, ”Kabakov added.

Kabakov also spoke about the work of the face recognition system, including in Moscow in conditions of self-isolation, and assessed the possibility of cheating smart cameras with a mask or make-up.
