The Chinese police endow their agents with special connected glasses that allow them to identify suspects and wanted in real time. Even in the crowd.
Increasingly harsh lives for Chinese criminals and criminals: the Beijing government is equipping its law enforcement agencies with special smart glasses equipped with facial recognition technology, which will allow agents to recognize and identify suspects at a glance.
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE .... The glasses mount a high-definition camera and are connected via bluetooth to the tablet that is equipped with every policeman.
The device contains a database always updated with the identification photos and identification data of the wanted: if the face framed by the cameras matches with one of those contained in the registry of the bad, the system informs the agent and provides all the information on the suspect so that can intervene safely.
The innovative tool was developed by LLVision and is already supplied to some railway police patrols of the town of Zhengzhou. The glasses work very well even in crowded environments such as stations and trains: as stated by the company to the system is enough 1/10 of a second to identify a face among the 10,000 in the database of the wanted.
NOT JUST CHINA
According to a Twitter report by journalist Fan Wenxin , in the first weeks of adoption the device would have allowed the identification and arrest of 7 fleeing criminals and the capture of 26 people circulating with false documents.
Smart glasses cost about 500 euros a pair and, according to the company's statement , they are also urging the interest of other governments including the United States and Japan.
SCHEDULED BY THE SYSTEM
China is the first country in the world to invest in remote surveillance and face recognition technologies: over the next 3 years, Beijing plans to install over 400 million CCTV cameras across the country and build a system of analysis of images that will identify every Chinese citizen in 3 seconds.
