Chapter 63: The Fiery Eye System

"This is only part of it," He Xingzhou said. "Gait recognition is just one component of its action recognition capabilities. Technologies like facial recognition, iris recognition, and voice recognition all need to be enhanced."

"Integrating so many functions means calling it the Sky Eye system no longer feels appropriate."

"We might as well call it the Fiery Eyes system, named after Sun Wukong's fiery eyes of truth, which can distinguish the true from the false in all things!"

"The Fiery Eyes system, that's a good name," Hu Yaowen said. "Shall we begin?"

"Mm," He Xingzhou nodded. "All the incoming teams—facial recognition, iris recognition, voice recognition, gait recognition, and the rest—will proceed simultaneously!"

He Xingzhou first joined the existing facial recognition team to work on optimization. Domestic facial recognition technology had already developed for quite a few years, and the foundations were quite mature.

What he needed to do was optimize the algorithms so that the intelligent system could understand more, enabling it not only to recognize faces but also to predict changes in facial states, such as how faces age over time, as well as technologies like face-swapping.

Gait recognition was much more complex, and domestic technology in this area was still immature. Following his own understanding, He Xingzhou constructed the algorithmic framework and left various artificial intelligence experts to fill in the details.

Meanwhile, data sourced from research institutes and enterprises across the country made the intelligent algorithms grow by leaps and bounds every day!

The Fiery Eyes biometric recognition system was gradually perfecting itself!

...

A week later, He Xingzhou posted a new update online.

"Our team has recently been researching artificial intelligence technology, and we will be releasing related videos and holding live streams irregularly from now on."

"As a preview, the next episode will showcase biometric recognition and face-swapping technology. We will be recruiting test participants, and any individuals or companies in need of this technology are welcome to apply."

Following his previous live stream showcasing the aerospace carrier model, He Xingzhou's follower count had surged across all platforms.

On Douyin, the short-video platform with the highest traffic, his follower count had already reached ten million!

Unlike other internet celebrities, every single one of his followers was real data, and his other platforms also started with millions of followers each.

As soon as this update was posted, it didn't just attract attention—it immediately surged to the trending news list!

Countless people were watching his every move.

"Why are you switching to AI technology? I thought you were going to build awesome weapons next!"

"Weren't you doing mechanical manufacturing? You know AI technology too?"

...

"How do we experience it? How do we apply? Please tell us!"

"When is it happening? Can we get a date?"

"Hurry up! I can't wait anymore!"

...

"Biometric recognition and face-swapping technology?" This new update from He Xingzhou caught the attention of internet and technology companies.

These technologies were directly related to the ecosystem of the internet and related tech enterprises.

"Don't we already have all these technologies?" someone questioned.

"That's He Xingzhou! If he's announcing it, there must be a new technological breakthrough!"

"Forget it, contact him first. In case it's some powerful technology, we might be able to get priority authorization!"

Large and small enterprises sprang into action, trying to become test participants for He Xingzhou's new technology. Individual netizens applied as well, numbering in the hundreds of thousands!

...

Inside the research institute, the Fiery Eyes system continued its relentless learning.

Countless facial images, biological structures, and dynamic walking movements were broken down, recorded, analyzed, and used to build gait models.

A vast number of AI experts, mathematicians, physicists, biologists, and psychologists were providing help and nourishment for the growth of the Fiery Eyes system.

"It's almost ready. At this learning rate, in another ten days, the Fiery Eyes biometric recognition system will be complete," He Xingzhou judged inwardly.

He asked Xu Zhilan, "Sister Zhilan, have the test participants been selected?"

"They have," Xu Zhilan nodded slightly and said, "First is the Ministry of Security, which will use the system to attempt criminal apprehensions. This part will not be made public."

"Then there is the police department, which wants to use the system nationwide for facial recognition to find lost children and the elderly. This can be broadcast live."

"In addition, there is a film production company and an individual participant who want to experience the face-swapping technology."

"Good," He Xingzhou said. "Then arrange it. In fifteen days, we will live stream the technology demonstration of the Fiery Eyes biometric recognition system."

...

Fifteen days later, in Haixi Province, Rongcheng, at the Public Security News Release Center, He Xingzhou's technology demonstration live stream would take place here.

Before it even began, the release center was packed with journalists. Given the special circumstances, a spectator seating area had also been set up.

The working staff had not expected that while ordinary press conferences usually only attracted media reporters and a small number of viewers, this time, the attending audience filled the release hall to the brim!

"Let's begin!" Behind the scenes, He Xingzhou had already activated the Fiery Eyes system. At the same time the live broadcast started, the Security Bureau was also using the system to hunt down fugitive personnel.

"Mm." Hu Yaowen started working with eager anticipation. Under their operation, several video recordings were read by the Fiery Eyes system—these were surveillance footage of the fugitive Chen Yong from his time at the research institute.

Fiery Eyes biometric recognition system: "Video read successfully."

"Extracting biometric information... Facial features extracted, eye features extracted, physical posture features extracted... Building gait model..."

"Gait model established, performing comparative analysis!"

While the intelligent system was at work, several criminal investigation officers were discussing the situation.

"There's a nine out of ten chance this Chen Yong is still in Rongcheng! As soon as we discovered the data was stolen, we immediately placed all stations, airports, and expressways under emergency inspection."

"It's just that Rongcheng is so big, and nobody knows where he's hiding. Since he is proficient in counter-reconnaissance techniques, it really is difficult to find him if he keeps hiding out."

"Let's wait and see if the Fiery Eyes system can root him out."

In less than three minutes, the Fiery Eyes system had already compared public area surveillance data across the entire city of Rongcheng.

"Suspected target found, gait similarity ninety-eight percent." The Fiery Eyes system extracted several frames—these were dynamic images captured by roadside security cameras.

A female figure was circled among them. She had long hair, wore sun-glasses and a mask, and had a rather bulky build, making her look like an ordinary woman.

"Did it make a mistake? Is this Chen Yong?" The investigators all looked skeptical upon seeing the circled surveillance figure.

"Isn't Chen Yong a man?"

"His face and posture don't look anything like this at all!"

"Yeah, even his height looks different."

"Ninety-eight percent gait similarity. The two percent discrepancy may be caused by the target person's awkward movement while disguised," a researcher involved in the design of the Fiery Eyes system said firmly. "The gait recognition of the Fiery Eyes system analyzes even the movement of bones and muscles! With such a high similarity, it cannot be a second person!"
