香港研发人脸辨识系统 准确率全球之冠

据香港中通社报道，香港中文大学6日宣布，该校的工程学系团队研发出的一套自动脸部辨识系统，准确率为全球之冠。此系统可在人面数据库(Labeled Faces in the Wild)过千组不同光暗、表情及拍摄角度的照片中，识别出容貌，准确率高达99.15%，是首次有系统可超越人类肉眼识别的准确度。 [查看全文]

(ECNS) – A research team at Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has developed an automated facial recognition system that achieved the highest accuracy rate in the world, according to Hong Kong China News Agency.

The system reached an accuracy rate of 99.15 percent in recognizing faces in the Labeled Faces in the Wild, a database of more than 13,000 photographs designed for studying the problem of unconstrained face recognition.

The accuracy rate also set a record in a computed system being more accurate than human sight.

Professor Wang Xiaogang, one of the team members, said the hardest part for automated recognition was to deflate the variety of one person in different pictures and magnify the tiny differences among people. They have coped with the two detections effectively and enhanced the accuracy, Wang added.

Wang also said the improved system can help law enforcement and security services recognize targets in massive crowds.
