By using artificial intelligence (AI), aims to activate the 500 megapixel cloud camera system. Chinese scientists have created a camera that can capture and identify a face in a picture of thousands of people.

According to Global Times, the 'super spy' camera was developed jointly by scientists from Fudan University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The camera system has a resolution of 500 magapixel, five times the resolution of 120 million pixels of the human eye. It can capture extremely detailed images.
Scientists say the camera can take a picture of tens of thousands of people in the stadium, with clear images of each face.
When integrated with face recognition AI, real-time monitoring system and cloud computing technology, this camera can detect and recognize human faces or other objects. It is based on big data and immediately finds specific goals.
"Besides, thanks to two special internal chips, the camera system is also capable of producing extremely high resolution videos just like captured images. These videos and images can also be uploaded. a cloud data center so people around the world can log in to get data. " Zeng Xiaoyang, a member of the research team, said.
Most Chinese scientists and people expressed their joy and confidence in the high applicability of this new invention in military, defense and public security.
"If the police arranged this camera system in central Shanghai and major cities. They can monitor the movement of the crowd in real time and they can prevent accidents or security incidents as quickly as possible". Zeng said.
Professor Li Daguang (China National Defense University) said the system could be used in a surveillance agency. It can be located at military bases, satellite launch bases and national borders. The purpose is to prevent suspicious objects from entering illegally or escaping.
However, some people also express concerns about personal safety and data privacy.
Wang Peiji, a doctor at Harbin Institute of Technology, said that normal surveillance of the public security system is not enough. Meanwhile, the re-installation of a new system is very expensive but the benefits are not high.
Overly detailed camera systems may also violate personal privacy.
Currently, China has about 170 million surveillance cameras installed throughout public offices and streets. This is equivalent to every 12 people will have a tracking camera.
Last year, the Chinese government implemented a tool to help identify gait. It helps prevent bad guys by pinpointing an object at a distance of 50m through walking, even with a back or face cover.
Besides the "super spy" camera, China is also working on other technologies to monitor its citizens. It is not clear which agency ordered this product.
