China Corona “Wave 2” Use face recognition technology as a precautionary measure May 22, 15:00

In China, as economic activity resumes, we are wary of the “second wave” when the new coronavirus infection will spread again, and we are also taking measures to prevent infection using AI = artificial intelligence.

Among them, an IT company in Beijing has developed a surveillance camera system equipped with face recognition technology and capable of measuring body temperature with infrared rays, and instantly distinguishes a person whose body temperature is higher than a preset setting and sounds a warning sound. .

This means that it has already been installed in schools, corporate offices, and public transportation such as airports.

In addition, we have installed surveillance cameras that use face recognition technology in places where many people visit, such as tourist spots, and are taking measures to track the past behavior of infected people.

When an infected person visits the place where the surveillance camera is installed, he or she can input the information such as a facial photograph and instantly determine the video that is being displayed, and trace the footprint back to the past.

It is an application of the system that was originally introduced for crime prevention measures such as searching for criminals, and is said to be able to identify people who have had heavy contact with infected persons.

A person in charge of the company that developed this system said, "With this system, we can quickly find out the trajectories of infected people and those who were in contact with them. Big data plays many roles in preventing infections. , I want to improve the accuracy of data analysis and put more effort into preventing infections. "
