Gunsan City introduced ‘CCTV AI fast search system' and 'facial recognition system'
Since the day of introducing AI search and facial recognition systems, very successful benefits keep showing up in arresting criminals and finding missing children

Gunsan City's 'AI CCTV Search System' and 'Facial Recognition System', which were first introduced in Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, are playing a major role in arresting criminals and finding missing persons.
According to the city, a total of 2,782 CCTVs (2,485 for crime prevention and 297 for traffic information collection) are installed and operated in the city.
However, there was a lack of surveilliance for all CCTV cameras from CCTV operators with their own eyes.
Accordingly, the city spent approximately 200 million won to build a 'CCTV Video AI High-Speed Analysis System' in the Integrated Control Center.
This system was introduced to systematically respond to increasingly intelligent crimes and overcome the limitations of visual analysis.
The AI-based high-speed video analysis system can quickly identify the current location based on the past movement path, clothing, and shape images of people or vehicles by analyzing the video stored in CCTV.
This helps investigative agencies to quickly solve cases, and has provided information on approximately 167 cases to investigative agencies since its establishment, contributing to the arrest of criminals.
In fact, on the last 12th of August, they received information on a suspect in a theft case at Impi-myeon, Gunsan city and used an AI high-speed search with the suspect's clothing and vehicle infromation around the victim's house and the surrounding areas to identify the suspect's vehicle movements and arrested right away.
Before that, on July 8, a report was received that “a man was walking around with a knife, a woman was lying on the street near Gyeongpocheon, and the assailant fled in a vehicle.”
In response, the integrated control center tracked the movement using an AI high-speed search based on the perpetrator's information and vehicle information captured on existing CCTV, and cooperated with the local police to arrest the suspect at the expected hiding place.
The facial recognition system is also contributing to the arrest of wanted criminals and finding lost elderly people with dementia and children.
The corresponding system can recognize over 99% of the subjects even if they are wearing masks and hats. Last October, a pedestrian who was wandering around Gunsan Intercity Bus Terminal with exhibiting unusual behavior, was identified as a lost child with developmental disabilities and was returned to his family by the result of video analysis with facial recognition system.
An official from the city's integrated control center said, "Even if CCTV control officers cannot capture the crime scene, if there is any record on a nearby CCTV, they can use it to track escape routes, etc. through the AI high-speed search system." He added, "In the future, by additionally introducing an AI smart selective surveillance system (observation of abnormal behavior) and CCTVs with capable facial recognition, we will prepare for various incidents and accidents, such as finding missing children or helping to arrest wanted person cases. We will also strengthen real-time citizen safety monitoring to create a safe residential environment for citizens."
