A research team from China's Northwest University is using artificial intelligence (AI) and other new technologies to develop a facial recognition technology for monkey to identify thousands of Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys in the Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi Province.
Similar to the current facial recognition technology, the technology for monkey can extract the facial feature information of the monkey to establish the identity database of the individual monkey in Qinling Mountains, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
"When monkey facial recognition technology is fully developed, we can integrate the technology into an infrared camera sets in the mountains. The system will automatically recognize the monkeys, name them and analyze their behavior," said Zhang He, a member of the Northwest University research team.
