"Make in Vietnam" technology position on the world AI map
Image recognition platform using artificial intelligence VNPT SmartVision represents the excellent Make in Vietnam artificial intelligence to win comprehensively at the world's leading competition on computer vision technology AI City Challenge 2024 taking place recently.
Accordingly, VNPT AI's group of young engineers won in the category of object detection from fisheye cameras. This is the first problem that appears with very high complexity.
VNPT SmartVision solution demonstrates the spirit of "Make in Vietnam" with more than 40 image processing AI models. In particular, the AI vehicle recognition model surpassed more than 400 competing models that registered to compete in the most difficult challenge - detecting objects from a fisheye camera with the challenge of fully identifying objects. in mixed traffic such as buses, bicycles, cars, pedestrians, trucks, etc. from warped, distorted images, small resolution and data imbalance. The item requires processing image data from ultra-wide-angle traffic camera lenses, including 180-degree panorama and 360-degree observation.
Mr. Duong Viet Hung - Director of VNPT SmartVision Platform said that the competition lasts 2 months and is divided into 2 stages with nearly 730 participating teams from 47 countries, an increase of 43% in the number of competing teams compared to 2023.
“Our team took the lead and never dropped in rankings throughout the competition. The remaining teams all come from large businesses and organizations around the world, so the pressure is not small. But, instead of worrying, we choose to focus forward" - Viet Hung said.
VNPT SmartVision has been developed since 2018, and has now been completed and is an image recognition platform using artificial intelligence with more than 40 different types of image processing AI models to meet many fields such as security monitoring, transportation, healthcare, education, electronic identification and authentication,...
To date, VNPT SmartVision has been practically deployed to more than 100 organizations and businesses, focusing on 4 main image processing areas including traffic monitoring, security monitoring, document digitization, and identification and search. look for faces.
Regarding traffic and security monitoring, the solution has been deployed in many provinces such as Binh Phuoc, Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Ha Nam, Tay Ninh, Bac Giang, and Ninh Binh, helping competent forces manage promptly detect and handle violations of the law such as not wearing helmets, running red lights, going in the wrong lane, going in the opposite direction, stopping and parking illegally, and detecting traffic accidents. ..
“Thanks to the large data set and practical implementation experience, we continuously upgrade AI models and optimize them to be highly compatible with images in Vietnam. Currently, the average accuracy of AI models is more than 95%. Some models such as facial recognition achieve accuracy of up to 99.99%" - said a representative of the VNPT SmartVision development team.
Solutions to many difficult "problems".
In Tan An city, Long An province, cold fines will be implemented from October 2023. More than 100 cameras integrated with VNPT SmartVision were installed at 22 key traffic locations in the area. It is expected that by the end of this year, there will be more than 500 cameras with this solution integrated.
Tan An City Police said that the implementation of installing a camera system to fine cases of violating traffic order and safety showed positive results - traffic participants have complied with traffic safety laws better, over time. Recently the number of violations has decreased by about 80%.
In addition to traffic monitoring functions, VNPT SmartVision is also being applied to screening and diagnosing thyroid cancer at the National Endocrine Hospital. Currently, the project has entered the sprint phase with very positive signals about the system's accuracy rate.
“VNPT SmartVision has become an effective support tool for lower-level doctors in early diagnosis of thyroid cancer. The results of the research and application process will be announced in the near future" - informed the representative of the VNPT SmartVision development engineering team.
With more than 40 AI models, the VNPT SmartVision artificial intelligence image recognition platform is also applied to many specific problems.
In education, the AI model processes facial images to develop an AI Assistant for safely managing student transportation (vnFace School). At the same time, vnFace School also provides real-time updates on student journeys for parents and schools, helping teachers, schools, nannies, and parents promptly grasp unusual situations in the classroom. student pick-up and drop-off process.
In digital payment, more than 100 banks, financial institutions, telecommunications and online commerce such as TPBank, HDBank, Vietcombank, SHB, MBBank, Kookmin Bank, Momo... have integrated AI models to process images for identification purposes. identity and electronic authentication for more than 40 million Vietnamese people.
“We have also expanded the application of image processing AI models to the field of digital signatures and electronic contracts to combat fake documents and faces, contributing to promoting secure digital transactions. safe and effective", Director of VNPT SmartVision Platform Duong Viet Hung added.
