日本公司推AI摄像头 用来识别小偷
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to seep into our daily lives. Now, AI has been tasked with tackling a crime: shoplifting. NTT and tech company Earth Eyes have joined up to create AI Guardman. This is a new type of security camera that is backed up with an AI system that can detect behaviors attributed to shoplifters. The way it works is simple. The camera watches the store interior and identifies all the humans inside as they walk about. AI Guardman is aware of the different techniques commonly used by shoplifters in different types of stores, such as looking for blindspots in supermarkets or constantly checking one's surroundings in bookstores. Preliminary tests appear to be effective. Trials have been conducted by major retailers, and it is expected that the system will get stronger as it is used. The AI Guardman costs a fair amount. One camera, which has a range of 13 meters, costs $2,200 up front. Then, there's the $41 per camera monthly fee for usage of the cloud data it produces. |
