Many of us must have watched the science fiction movie “Special opinion “2002, which tells about the policeman Crime Prevention Unit, whose staff look into the future and thus prevent killing.
The leadership of the Japanese technology startup “Vaak” said the other day, which finally brought to mind its unique system “VaakEye”, also able to fight offenders before their commission of crimes. However, while it is only a matter of prevent shoplifting. Specialists from the Land of the Rising Suns announced their project last April and all this time engaged in its development.

According to the Japanese, they created an advanced program on based on artificial intelligence, which by analyzing records with surveillance cameras in trading floors, can detect suspicious visitor behavior and prevent theft. If the algorithm considers that this or that person is preparing to commit theft, the system will notify store employees, and they can safely drive the failed thief out.
Of course, punish a person for a crime that he does not committed, no one will, however, we can assume that the potential thief will no longer go where his intentions are good known for artificial intelligence. The program reliably remembers all dubious personalities and immediately pays attention to them if they reappear in the store.
Currently, “VaakEye” is being tested in several tens Tokyo supermarkets, and over the next three years the system plan to establish in hundreds of thousands of outlets throughout Japan. If, of course, it turns out to be effective.

30-year-old founder of “Vaak” Re Tanaka says that complex algorithm uses the so-called “deep learning”. Artificial intelligence studied about a hundred thousand hours of recordings CCTV from stores to understand over a hundred factors, indicating the unkind intentions of visitors to such enterprises. Say if a person looks around and avoids others buyers, then he clearly conceived something bad.
It has been reported that since the beginning of its testing, the VaakEye program identified at least seven potential stores in Tokyo thieves. Receiving a warning from the system, sales staff points, as a rule, approached the person, asking if he needed help and a suspicious visitor every time right there retired.
It seems that the time is coming when to steal in supermarkets will it’s just not possible, because fooling AI will be much harder than conventional surveillance camera …
