VNPT won First Prize in the international artificial intelligence competition on image processing

VNPT engineering team announced two scientific studies at CVPR Conference in the US.

AI City Challenge is a competition within the framework of CVPR conference, the most prestigious specialized conference in the field of computer vision. In addition to familiar topics such as tracking objects on multiple cameras, analyzing and describing traffic situations, or detecting the behavior of motorcyclists not wearing helmets, this year's AI City Challenge announced a new category with a very high complexity: detecting objects from fish-eye cameras (Road Object Detection in Fish-Eye Cameras).

This problem requires processing image data from ultra-wide-angle traffic camera lenses, including 180-degree and 360-degree panoramic views. Teams are challenged to identify objects such as buses, motorcycles, cars, pedestrians, and trucks from images that are warped, distorted, small, and have imbalanced data.

Currently, fisheye cameras are widely used in intelligent transportation systems in many developed countries. This technology helps reduce blind spots and expand the field of view without increasing the number of cameras. Due to its high applicability, out of a total of 726 teams participating in the AI ​​City Challenge 2024, up to 403 teams registered to compete in the challenge of detecting objects from fisheye cameras.

For the young AI engineers of VNPT, the new problem at this year's AI City Challenge is an opportunity to gain experience and at the same time affirm the position of "Make in Vietnam" technology on the world artificial intelligence map. The AI ​​model that the engineers used in the test is one of the models that the group applied to develop the VNPT SmartVision image recognition platform.

VNPT won the prize in the category of detecting objects using fisheye cameras. This is a very complex category.

In recent times, VNPT has developed VNPT SmartVision to meet the needs of image processing in the market with four main groups of features: traffic monitoring, security monitoring, document digitization, face recognition and search. For traffic and security monitoring, the solution has been deployed in many major cities and provinces such as Binh Phuoc, Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Ha Nam, Tay Ninh, Bac Giang, and Ninh Binh.

In Tan An city (Long An province), VNPT Smart Vision has been integrated into more than 120 cameras to help authorities manage, promptly detect and handle violations of the law such as not wearing helmets, running red lights, driving in the wrong lane, driving in the wrong direction, stopping and parking illegally, detecting traffic accidents, etc. Thanks to that, the number of violations in the area has decreased by 80%, contributing to improving the quality of life for people in the area.

It is known that in addition to traffic and security monitoring, VNPT is actively developing and applying the image recognition platform using artificial intelligence in many important fields such as healthcare, education and digital payment. In the healthcare field, VNPT is also cooperating with the Central Endocrinology Hospital to apply this platform to support doctors in diagnosing and providing appropriate treatment regimens for thyroid cancer. With these achievements, VNPT not only affirms its position domestically but also contributes to bringing Vietnamese technology to the world.
