In 20 1 1 year, with the support of Chongqing Institute of Green Intelligent Technology, China Academy of Sciences, Zhou Xi established the Intelligent Multimedia Technology Research Center of Chongqing Institute of Green Intelligent Technology, China Academy of Sciences, in conjunction with the Image Forming and Processing Laboratory of the University of Illinois (UIUC) and the Learning and Vision Research Group of the National University of Singapore (NUS).
The center focuses on the theoretical and industrial application research in the field of machine vision and pattern recognition, focusing on the core key technologies such as large-scale dynamic face recognition, massive video semantic retrieval, human-computer collaboration, networked video event reasoning, and successfully developed the first "face recognition payment" system and face verification system in China. Facing the strategic demand of effective extraction and intelligent analysis of image and video information in the security field, the center independently developed a series of intelligent security products, such as face recognition and identity verification machine, tens of millions of portrait search and comparison system, cross-camera specific target person recognition and tracking system, large-scale crowd counting system, multi-attribute vehicle retrieval system and so on. And for the public security, schools, governments, customs, border defense and other units to create intelligent security system solutions. The products of the center have been well applied in Xinjiang, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai, Guizhou and other places.
On 20 15, Zhou Xi led the team to set up Congyun Technology focusing on artificial intelligence. At present, the company mainly develops face recognition technology.
