New electronic eye can identify five kinds of illegal vehicles at the same time

Many old drivers know that the electronic cameras all over the street have a single function. If you shoot a red light, you cannot control the speeding. If you shoot an illegal line, you cannot block the number plate. This is because the old "electronic police" only has "eyes" but no "heads."

There is a "bad news" for the driver. Beijing's "electronic police" is being upgraded. The new "electronic police" not only has keen "vision" but also the "mind" of analysis and judgment. The integrated multi-functional "electronic police" developed by Zhongguancun high-tech enterprise Beijing Wen'an Technology Co., Ltd., a camera can take into account three lanes, and can simultaneously identify more than five illegal acts such as illegal lane changing, rolling of vehicles, and retrograde. At present, the new type of "electronic police" has been "put on the job" in Fengti Road, Liujiayao Bridge South, and Dongzhimen Outer Street.

Wu Xinle, a technical staff member of the Beijing Wen'an Product Testing Department, is testing "electronic police" in front of his computer. On the screen, a real-time video of an intersection in Beijing is being played. There are three lanes on the screen. Traffic lights flash across and the traffic is bustling. Wu Xinle used a teacup-sized camera to "shoot" against the screen. "This simulation is the actual work of the 'electronic police' at the intersection," said Tao Hai, chairman of Beijing Wen'an.

Connected to the camera is a computer. The computer screen shows real-time road conditions. However, there is a yellow line between the lanes. Above each motorized vehicle, there is a red box to follow until the vehicle disappears. Outside the screen. This computer is actually the background of the "electronic police." "These yellow lines and red boxes are actually positioning the vehicles. Once illegal driving, they will be 'locked'," said Tao Hai.

In the video played by Wu Xinle, there was just a blue car that accelerated through the intersection at the red light and saw the computer screen on his desk. The car's license plate number, illegal time, and live photos were automatically one by one. Record archive.

In practice, the camera is connected to the back office with a 3G network. “The camera can be remotely controlled in the background. In addition to a camera chip and a central processing chip, the camera can process the shooting content, automatically perform traffic statistics and identify various illegal activities.” Tao Hai said that this is called "the electronic police system of the dual-core smart integrated machine" and the camera has 5 million pixels (the third version).

(Continued from the first edition) It is possible to identify more than five illegal acts such as illegal lane change at intersections, rolling of vehicles, retrograde, abnormal parking, and occupation of emergency lanes. This "one-many-more capable" "electronic police" is the first product created by Wen An Technology.

Tao Hai said that the installation of old traffic violation cameras usually requires digging pits, poles, and wires. To capture the red light, a traffic light detector needs to be installed, and then a coil called a “trigger line” is buried in front of the intersection. Once the vehicle rolls over the trigger coil, the camera shoots. At the same time, traffic junctions are usually equipped with equipment boxes to control "electronic police" equipment. Photographs taken need manual judgment, confirmation, and the number of the license plate.

“Simply speaking, traditional cameras can only shoot and look, which is equivalent to the eyes. Our scientific research results are equivalent to installing a 'mind' to the camera, allowing the camera to read the images on its own and automatically identify the video images. "People, cars or other target objects of the problem." Tao Hai said that with the "brain", the camera has the functions of license plate recognition, personnel and vehicle statistics, trajectory tracking, and abnormal behavior monitoring alarms.

The core of this "mind" is computer identification technology.

In order to allow computer identification technology to get out of the laboratory, Tao Hai gave up his position as a tenured professor at an American university and returned to Beijing to establish Beijing Wen'an. The employees initially had only 10 people but the results were one by one:

In 2005, the company was established and developed a license plate recognition system with the highest recognition rate in China.

In 2006, the industry’s first company launched a standard-definition red light electronic police system that relied on video triggering, and was used in Beijing on a large scale.

In 2008, the first domestic video streaming system based on the human body modeling was used to count the number of people through the camera. It was applied to 11 public parks in Beijing, Xidan Commercial Street, Dongzhimen Transport Hub, and Metro Line 9.

In 2010, the world’s first fixed 2 million-pixel high-definition smart one-in-one “E-police” with solar-powered, 3G wireless transmission captured many illegal activities such as emergency lanes; the same year, the world’s first company launched a bus installation. The mobile "electronic police" on the road has been used on a large scale in buses such as Ping An Avenue, Chang An Street, and Jing Tong Expressway.

After Wen'an’s scientific and technological achievements were successfully applied in Beijing, they were rapidly promoted to the whole country. "Electronic Police" has already been employed in one-third of provinces and cities in Tianjin, Shanghai, Shandong, Liaoning, etc., and the passenger flow statistics system has been applied in Shanghai Hongqiao Hub, Shanghai World Expo, Shenzhen Metro and other places.

Since 2008, the performance of Beijing Wen'an has grown rapidly, and its operating income has increased by 137% annually over the past three years.

The recently released “Transport Development and Construction Plan for Beijing during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan” proposes that by 2015, the city will build 3,000 new sets of fixed “electronic police” and 1,000 sets of mobile “electronic police”. Tao Hai said that with the development of intelligent transportation, the future market potential of “electronic police” is even greater.
