Basic Information About AI Technology Analysis And Tracking

By Sarah Ellis


Artificial intelligence or AI is when machines imitate cognitive functions similar to what human minds have such as problem solving and learning. This increases their capabilities in doing complicated things like military simulations, interpreting data and understanding human speech. Scientists are researching to make them do things themselves with the least human intervention possible.

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 would identify anyone from the provided descriptions from witnesses and others which have information regarding them. It would find one matching the description using the numerous images captured from the public security cameras at city areas and large facilities. The movement of this identified individual would be tracked using those cameras.

It will analyze the image of an individual so they would be able to follow them even when their face are not clearly visible or they are far when captured. This will contribute to security and public safety when used in surveillance systems like in public areas. It would not only detect someone through their physical appearance but also their body movement.

Different categories are used in detecting someone through camera images like their clothing, hairstyle and other related things on their appearance physically. The body movement is broken down also to categories such as how they run, bend and walk. Multiple items is being simultaneously calculated to distinguish their characteristics unlike standard practices were each item is separately calculated.

Law enforcers would be assisted by this in capturing wanted people they have been searching for long time as long as public cameras capture them. They will know where someone had been to in the past months, weeks or days which could be used as an evidence against them. This is useful in surveying suspected individuals that may have be planning something illegal.

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.

Using this has more accuracy in getting images of that person among the hundreds or thousands of images. This happens because people have others with similar facial features that makes to accurately distinguish from one another. Though this technology is still using facial recognition but only as an aspect of it.

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.
