I Play Dungeons in the Police Station

Chapter 441 - 265: Facial Recognition System 2.0

"Captain Li, the reconstruction of the deceased’s photo is done. We conducted a comparison in the facial recognition system, but the efficiency is still too slow. Especially with the national system comparison, the result came out to be over a million matches. The efficiency is too low. Do you think there’s a way we can optimize the recognition system, especially by incorporating the Artificial Intelligence program, to increase efficiency?"

That day, Li Xiang was sitting in the office drinking tea when Zhou Jian brought him a task, immediately requesting the optimization of the facial recognition system.

This is a massive project, not as simple as the initial development of the skull digital reconstruction technology.

"We? Us?"

Li Xiang looked at him in shock.

A project this large would mean working non-stop day and night, and it still wouldn’t be done quickly.

"Uh, that’s not what I meant. I meant perhaps if there’s an opportunity in the future, we can work together on optimization."

Lately, after Zhou Jian had studied Li Xiang’s skull digital reconstruction technology, looking at their previous other systems, he felt...

How can I put it?

It’s like the difference between using a feature phone and a smartphone.

That’s no exaggeration at all.

In his haste, he hoped that Li Xiang could initiate a project to thoroughly optimize the facial recognition system; that would be fantastic.

"However, your idea is indeed good, worthy of consideration."

The facial recognition system is currently highly utilized in the police system. When it first came out, it was high-tech technology, helping the police solve numerous headless cases.

However, the system also has its drawbacks.

The recognition success rate is too low.

For a single photo, there are numerous factors affecting recognition. The most basic could be makeup.

Another is the changes in facial data with age, all factors leading to a relatively low success rate in facial recognition technology. This necessitates a lot of manual labor, relying on the officers’ experience to judge who resembles the suspect.

If many results were compared, manual filtering would still be necessary.

This, invisibly, generates a lot of manpower and time costs.

For instance, this time, their guidance group used this method to identify, resulting in a million hits. Even if all members manually compared, it’s uncertain when they would finish.

After experiencing the convenience of Li Xiang’s skull digital reconstruction technology, Zhou Jian could no longer tolerate the previous facial recognition system. In urgency, he ran over to Li Xiang to give his feedback.

After all, once you’re used to a smartphone, being put back in the feature phone era is something everyone can relate to.

But as Li Xiang said, relying solely on the two of them, it would be impossible to complete in a year, let alone when it’s urgently needed now.

By the time they manually verify it, their software may still not be developed.

With this thought, Zhou Jian left Li Xiang’s office and went out to honestly conduct manual screening.

After he left, Li Xiang seriously considered his proposal, finding it highly feasible.

He didn’t need to replace all the opponent’s code.

In an instant, a general framework formed in his mind.

The core of Artificial Intelligence is easy to solve, just like when developing the skull digital reconstruction technology before; he simply needed to embed the AI core ’Xiao Mu’ into it.

As for optimization, it didn’t seem very difficult; just some simulated minor adjustments on some data.

The whole software didn’t require major changes, thus saving a lot of time.

However, in this process, a supercomputer would still be required, allowing ’Xiao Mu’ to fully utilize its advantages, even helping him optimize the software together.

"I can’t solve the supercomputer issue; that can only be resolved by Li Zhongqing."

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and called Li Zhongqing.

"Hello, Xiao Li, what’s up? Difficulties with the Yuncheng Case No. 1?"

Li Zhongqing received Li Xiang’s call, not surprised at all. The guidance group was newly established, and even with him and Fan Yonglin backing Li Xiang, it was still hard to convince the elites.

Hence, for Li Xiang to start work, the first step is crucial. Only by showing his real skills can these exceptional people willingly follow.

Yet, before that, the team was certainly hard to manage; after all, Li Xiang was still young, and reaching out for support was only natural.

These days, he was pondering whether Li Xiang would reach out for help, not expecting the call to come much later than anticipated.

"There’s no issue with Case No. 1 at the moment; everything is progressing as planned."

"Then what are you calling for? Is it that the guidance group isn’t complying with management?"

Li Zhongqing sounded knowing, waiting for Li Xiang to say it himself.

"Not really. Here’s the thing, I feel that our current facial recognition system is somewhat inefficient. I’d like to optimize it; can you offer a bit of support?"

Li Zhongqing somewhat doubted his hearing, looking serious: "I sent you there to handle the Yuncheng Case No. 1, not engage in research."

"Combining case-solving with research doesn’t interfere; Case No. 1 now has a breakthrough, progressing as planned. But there’s another case needing the facial recognition system. Currently, whoever uses our system knows its limitations. I’m thinking if we can sharpen our tools, once the facial recognition system is improved, future case-solving will be twice as effective with half the effort."
