An Israeli development allows to identity subjects a drone  photographed

A new development allows the multirotor drone to reveal the identity of the characters they photograph, even when it comes to crowded population centers. It is possible to identify those who were photographed in the skimmer lens with full name, age, place of birth and residence, list of friends and other information.
 The development works when the video clips of different types of skimmers are transferred to the system of the Israeli company Cortica. Which developed an artificial intelligence that decodes content in videos, identifies facial features, and scans databases to gather information about the subjects.
 
This is a technological field that is in great demand by the Chinese, Russian and US superpowers, which are in a new arms race of its kind and are investing tens of billions of dollars in the development of artificial intelligence technologies that enable surveillance of people based on video analysis for security and population management. Only in the past two years have Chinese companies Sensing, Face ++ and Yitu, which focus on monitoring people from security cameras, appeared. These companies have reached a record value of billions of dollars and Sensetime is preparing for an IPO in the US.
 
According to Yigal Reichalgauz, CEO of Cortica: "Riders and other aerial platforms equipped with cameras produce a larger visual dataset than is being created to this day. For comparison, Facebook now produces 500 terabytes of data every day, and to process this information, they use half a million servers spread across 11 information centers. But Facebook's numbers are dwarfed by the future world, a fleet of autonomous cars, for example, has produced 100 times more information than Facebook, and the world of scoops is 21,000. Our technology makes it possible to search within this big data, in real time and for a variety of purposes. "
 Cortica's technology, which provides advanced rheumatology capabilities, is based on an experiment of hacking a living brain. Conducted by co-founders of Cortica in collaboration with the Technion, to understand how a brain works when processing visual information. Brain activity has been copied into an algorithm capable of studying and interpreting visual information, as we humans learn about the world through our minds by observing.
 The company was founded by Radina Udniev, Yigal Reichalgauz and Prof. Yehoshua Zeevi. So far, the company has raised more than $ 69 million from Samsung, Li Kaxing, the richest man in Asia, the Chinese search giant Qihoo, Mail.ru, Uzia Galil and other investors. The company employs 100 people in offices in Tel Aviv, Beijing, New York and Haifa. The company is currently recruiting dozens of new employees to the development center in Israel
