VNPT wins first prize in international artificial intelligence competition for image processing.

A team of VNPT engineers presented two scientific studies at the CVPR conference in the United States.

The AI ​​City Challenge is a competition held within the framework of the CVPR conference, the most prestigious professional conference in the field of computer vision. Besides familiar challenges such as tracking objects across multiple cameras, analyzing and describing traffic situations, or detecting motorcyclists not wearing helmets, this year's AI City Challenge announces a new, highly complex category: 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 face the challenge of identifying objects such as buses, motorcycles, cars, pedestrians, and trucks from images that are warped, distorted, small, and have data imbalances.

Currently, fisheye cameras are widely used in intelligent transportation systems in many advanced countries. This technology helps minimize 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, 403 teams registered to compete in the fisheye camera object detection challenge.

For VNPT's young AI engineering team, the new challenge at this year's AI City Challenge is an opportunity to hone their skills and affirm the position of "Make in Vietnam" technology on the global artificial intelligence map. The AI ​​model the engineering team used in their challenge is one of the models they applied to develop the VNPT SmartVision image recognition platform.

VNPT won an award in the category of object detection using fisheye cameras. This is a highly complex category.

Over the past period, VNPT has developed VNPT SmartVision to meet the market's image processing needs with four main feature groups: traffic monitoring, security monitoring, document digitization, and facial recognition and search. For traffic and security monitoring, the solution has been deployed in many major provinces and cities 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, helping law enforcement agencies manage, detect, and promptly handle violations of the law such as not wearing helmets, running red lights, driving in the wrong lane, driving against the flow of traffic, illegal parking, and detecting traffic accidents, etc. As a result, the number of violations in the area has decreased by up to 80%, contributing to improving the quality of life for people in the area.

It is known that, in addition to transportation and security surveillance, VNPT is actively developing and applying artificial intelligence-based image recognition platforms in many important fields such as healthcare, education, and digital payments. In the healthcare sector, VNPT is also cooperating with the Central Endocrinology Hospital to apply this platform to support doctors in diagnosing and developing appropriate treatment protocols for thyroid cancer. With these achievements, VNPT not only affirms its position domestically but also contributes to bringing Vietnamese technology to the world stage.
