China: Identify and “name” people who violate traffic laws with AI

Written by Du Lam

Shenzhen City (China) has applied artificial intelligence to identify pedestrians and drivers who violate traffic laws and “stomp” their names and faces on large LED panels.

Shenzhen is China’s crowded city with 12 million people, so it is not easy to control traffic and enforce laws. However, the police are assisted by the “invisible hand”, which is the device that uses the exclusive HD camera and the Intellivision startup’s AI technology to identify people breaking the law whether they drive or walk.

For the past two years, Intellivison’s system quickly matched people’s license plates and faces with information stored in the police system and then showed offenders’ names and faces on nearby LED screens to make them shy. Shenzhen traffic police said in the first 10 months of installing artificial intelligence equipment (AI), about 13,930 people violating traffic laws were “stubbed” on the LED board at the crowded intersection of Phuc Dien district. .

According to the March 2018 report by Mr. Wang Jun, Director of Marketing Solutions, the system includes a camera network, each camera has a resolution of up to 7 million pixels. Intellifusion also plans to cooperate with technology giants like Tencent and telecom operators to introduce the system where traffic participants are reminded that they are breaking the law and will be fined through instant messaging. on apps like WeChat. However, up to now, the system has not come into operation in Shenzhen.

China has nearly 200 million surveillance cameras nationwide, especially in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. Local governments have also invested heavily to expand the coverage of surveillance cameras to enhance policing. A city also boasts that its security cameras see everything, without blind spots.

With the success achieved in the experimental phase, Intellifusion’s technology is now applied for many other purposes. In 4/2018, Shenzhen police introduced a system to detect cars violating traffic laws and taking photos of both drivers and license plates. The system identifies the driver by comparing it to the police database and from here determines whether or not they have been deprived of their driver’s license. Similar technology is also being used on the world’s longest 55km Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge route in the world.

Thanks to Intellifusion technology, authorities are testing high resolution cameras, fingerprints and thermal scans at an immigration lane in Zhuhai City to speed up customs clearance.

Founded in 2014, Intellifusion is quickly famous for being the technology provider of face recognition to Shenzhen police. In January 2016, the company was chosen to lead the project by Long Cuong District to identify anyone in the crowd of up to 1 million in just 1 second. In September of the same year, the startup provided security services to identify portraits for the G20 conference held in Hangzhou. In 2018, Intellifusion became Huawei’s global strategic partner with the goal of “expanding smart city and global AI business”.
