Things To Know About AI Technology Analysis And Tracking

By Sarah Ellis


AI or artificial intelligence is when a machine imitates cognitive functions similar with human minds such as learning and problem solving. This make them increasingly capable of doing complicated things such as understanding human speech, military simulations and interpreting data. Scientists are researching on making them do things by themselves with little to no human intervention.

Many companies are developing their products to have this technology so it can do complicated tasks in helping people in different fields. One of these is in security and law enforcement like the AI technology analysis and tracking. It can detect a person based on information about their physical characteristics including sex, items in hand or color of clothing.

The system could identify any persons from the descriptions that were given by witnesses people that have information on them. It would then find one that matches the description from the many images caught in public security cameras at large facilities or cities. Then the identified person and their movement would be tracked down by using those cameras.

It would be analyzing the image of the person so they could still track them down even when the camera captures them from a distance or the face is not visibly clear. This can contribute to public security and safety when surveillance systems for public areas use this. It detects someone through their body movements also and not only their physical appearance.

It uses different categories when detecting someone from camera images such as hairstyle, clothing, and others related to their physical appearance. Their body movement is also broken down to categories like the way they walk, run and bend. It calculates multiple items simultaneously in distinguishing their characteristics unlike the standard practice of separate calculation of each item.

This will help law enforcers in capturing some wanted people which they have been searching for a while as long as the public camera captured them. The location of the person for the previous days, weeks and months would be known and could be used against them as evidence. It would be used also in surveillance of suspected people that have plans of doing some illegal actions.

The AI technology used here analyzes an image of an entire body and converts it into numerical description. This is done so they can still recognize someone even with some changes in the lighting or body angle. It would then record the results of this analysis in a database with a very fast vector processing technology.

This is more accurate than using facial recognition in obtaining images of the same person from among thousands of recorded images. This is because some people have similar facial features which the facial recognition cannot distinguish. Though it is still used with this new technology but only as a part of their system only.

The company who developed this hopes to improve surveillance capabilities for the government in preventing potential crimes to happen. This is useful also in emergency situations when seeking for specific individuals. Other uses may be available as this is continually being developed.
