OFweek smart home network news from 2016, the domestic attention to artificial intelligence continued to rise, Internet giant Tencent AILab was established in this year, Baidu is the transformation of artificial intelligence. At the two national conferences in 2017, the term artificial intelligence was first written into the government work report. For a time, the field of artificial intelligence seems to be yet another outlet. So, what happens when face recognition encounters hot artificial intelligence?
At the 2017 Artificial Intelligence/Computer Vision Industry Innovation Conference, the technology development path and industry evolution process of artificial intelligence computer vision were discussed, as well as the latest developments in face recognition technology and application landing. The field of computer vision ushered in a period of rapid development opportunities. It will cooperate with the development of smart cities to formally open the "first year of smart society."
Artificial intelligence from top-level design to landing applications
When the "Terminator" was released in the 1980s, artificial intelligence seems to be far behind the horizon. Since 2016, a series of artificial intelligence events have made people realize that the singularity is approaching and artificial intelligence has begun to intervene in people's lives. In this year's national "two sessions," artificial intelligence has also become a hot topic. It has not only been written for the first time in the "Government Work Report," but has also become a keyword for representatives of many scientific and technological circles, members' proposals, and proposals.
Fan Huiwen, vice president of the China Electronic Information Industry Development Research Institute, said that with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the CCID Research Institute has created a new "robot circle" media and a public inspection and inspection service platform of the National Robot Inspection and Evaluation Center, and is leading the formation of artificial intelligence. The Industrial Innovation Alliance provides opportunities for exchanges and cooperation, creates an ecological environment for industrial development, and contributes more to the healthy development of the artificial intelligence industry in China.
When face recognition encounters artificial intelligence
The era of artificial intelligence is fast approaching, and the rapid development of science and technology has contributed to it. Technologies in various fields such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, social media, VR/AR, etc. are all at a critical point of eruption. Every technological advancement has made the era of artificial intelligence come ahead. Ge Molin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Honorary Director of the Hanbok Joint Laboratory of Tianma Applied Mathematics Center, said that artificial intelligence is the key development direction of the country in the future, and it is also a knowledge-intensive industry. The development of artificial intelligence depends on both breakthroughs in basic research and needs. Application innovation.
At the event, Liu Yanhua, a former State Department Counselor and former Deputy Minister of Science and Technology, pointed out in his speech that the age of interaction between people and smart machines is coming. From the area of ​​face recognition, self-organizing systems and platform mechanisms will play a significant role. Intelligent machines continue to learn from human beings, which will bring more convenience to people's lives and work, make people's cognitive ability more in-depth and accurate, and people can rely on intelligent assistance for further knowledge processing and integration.
Former vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and director of the China Western Research and Development Promotion Association, Cheng Lu, said that China’s artificial intelligence is already at the same level as the world’s strongest country, and it will play an active role in activating the industry and promoting “One Belt and One Roadâ€. Innovations in these areas of application have already been reflected. Zhang Ming, chief economist and deputy director of the Information Center of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, said that artificial intelligence is changing human society, changing production methods, lifestyles and even social systems. The hot areas of economic development, such as Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, and O2O, are all related to artificial intelligence.
Zhu Xi, deputy director of the Information Technology and Software Services Division of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also emphasized that the conference used industrial innovation as the theme of “selection is appropriateâ€. She pointed out: “Industrial innovation is an important way to connect and open up technologies and applications, and to artificial intelligence. It is very important for the next step to widely apply and popularize. At this stage, the development of artificial intelligence is showing the characteristics of combining theory, technology, and application innovation.†For this reason, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to adhere to the innovation drive and application traction, and work from four aspects: strengthen the top-level design To coordinate the deployment of industrial development; combine the development of artificial intelligence industry with a series of major application projects; focus on breakthroughs in key technologies and key products; and guide the strengthening of international cooperation.
Computer vision outbreak conditions have been met
From a worldwide perspective, after the White House released its report on artificial intelligence in 2016, the British government recently released a report entitled “Artificial Intelligence: Opportunities and Impacts for Future Decision Makingâ€. It is generally believed that the future development of artificial intelligence will have an impact on society, economy, and government. Countries will play a unique role in artificial intelligence and will increase their national strength and build a new world economic structure.
Before the artificial intelligence was included in the government work report, the country had planned and piloted the use of artificial intelligence-related production, research and development standards. Xiang Yang, senior analyst at artificial intelligence industry at CCID Consulting, pointed out that at the national level, industry and enterprise alliances, software integration, and intelligent hardware Under the background of parallel development, the growth of the artificial intelligence market in China will be faster than that of other countries in the world. According to CCID Consulting's forecast, the Chinese market will exceed 40 billion yuan in 2018, with a compound annual growth rate of 25.8%.
On the one hand, artificial intelligence has become a "national mission." On the other hand, the application of artificial intelligence has reached a critical point, and computer vision and intelligent unmanned equipment will rapidly spread. Xu Chao, a professor and doctoral supervisor of the Department of Intelligent Science at the School of Information Science and Technology, Peking University shared his views and views on computer vision technology and its development path: “In many professional image fields, computer vision recognition has reached, even partially exceeded, human Recognition level, for example, character recognition, two-dimensional code recognition, fingerprint recognition, face recognition, etc. In terms of recognition efficiency, the computer far exceeds humans.†He believes that as image recognition enters the era of deep learning, In the spring, many technologies such as spring bloom will be nurtured and grown in wider applications.
In the entire technological ecological environment, the application of artificial intelligence has begun to spread. Take Hanbock Technology as an example. “The typical application of artificial intelligence in the face recognition technology room, Hanbock Technology has already begun to lay out in the face recognition technology and the integration with the industry: Forwardly established an application with Tianjin University. "Mathematics Joint Laboratory" is the first joint laboratory of applied mathematics jointly established by universities and enterprises in China. It has developed by leaps and bounds in the field of face recognition algorithms through the combination of production, study and research, and has created a series of face recognition products. It has provided solutions for industries such as security, education, community/home, business, medical and health, transportation, etc., and has invested in industry applications, such as being highly recognized by the Ministry of Public Security and the Beijing Public Security Bureau in the Medusa project.†Qiu Zhaoqiang, deputy general manager of Hanbo Technology, said.
The "Smart Year of the Community" officially opened
As a new technology trend, artificial intelligence is generally considered to be an important component of the “fourth industrial revolution.†We hope that the progress of robotics and artificial intelligence technology will have a transformative impact, just like the steam power of the past few centuries. Power and ubiquitous computing power.
Qiu Zhaoqiang pointed out that although artificial intelligence technology will have a transformative impact, the core of the smart age and smart society is still people. Face recognition achieves: digitization of people's identities, more convenient information exchange between people and systems, and the convenience, security, and freedom of smart society. Hanbok Technology has created the best entrance for smart society through face recognition, and will formally open the curtain of “Smart Society's first yearâ€.
The rudiments of smart society have been applied and emerged in some industries, such as public security counter-terrorism, entry-exit border inspection, criminal investigation and other fields, transportation in airports, railway stations, and bus stations, face-to-face attendance in the education industry, and dormitories. In the management of access, kindergarten transfer, hotel occupancy in the real estate, etc., Hanbo Technology has made many attempts to take the lead in smart society. With the further development of artificial intelligence, face recognition as a connection portal for people and intelligence has a huge outbreak potential.
Imagine that when face recognition connects with a smart society, every link is intelligent, and the reshaping of the entire industry is taking place. In the future, after the man-machine boundary is continuously evolving, the smart society will enter the stage of “human-machine collaboration†or even “man-machine integrationâ€. The vision will be the complete integration of machines and people, objects, and the environment, and will eventually complete the smart revolution.
