Chinese authorities are starting to introduce a new technology of surveillance of citizens, which allows you to identify a person by gait or body outlines. According to The Next Web, the company Watrix has been developing the technology, according to representatives of which the system can recognize a person from a distance of 50 meters even if he has his back turned to the camera.
It is noted that the new technology will be used on the streets of major cities in China, for example, Shanghai and Beijing, where thousands of surveillance cameras have already been installed, the Mirror of the Week writes. The new surveillance system "closes the gaps" in the observations that exist in the already installed cameras. At the moment, the system for recognition of personality requires a clear image of a person, made in high resolution. New technology requires only a clear picture of how a person goes.
