VNPT won the first prize at an international Artificial Intelligence competition on image processing
The AI City Challenge is a competition within the framework of the CVPR conference, the most prestigious specialized conference in computer vision. In addition to familiar topics such as tracking objects on multiple cameras, analyzing and describing traffic situations, or detecting the behavior of motorcyclists not wearing helmets, this year's AI City Challenge has announced a

new category with very high complexity: object detection from fish-eye cameras (Road Object Detection in Fish-Eye Cameras).
This problem requires processing image data from wide-angle traffic camera lenses, including 180-degree and 360-degree panoramic views. Teams must face the challenge of identifying objects such as buses, motorcycles, cars, pedestrians, and trucks from distorted images with small or unbalanced data.
Currently, fisheye cameras are widely used in smart traffic systems in many advanced countries. This technology helps minimize blind spots and expands visibility without increasing the number of cameras. Due to its high applicability, out of 726 teams participating in AI City Challenge 2024, 403 teams are registered to compete in the challenge of detecting objects from fisheye cameras. For VNPT's group of young AI engineers, the new problem at this year's AI City Challenge is an opportunity to compete and, at the same time, affirm the position of "Make in Vietnam" technology on the world artificial intelligence map. The AI model that the engineering team used in testing is one of the models that the team applied to develop the VNPT SmartVision image recognition platform.
Recently, VNPT has developed VNPT SmartVision to meet the needs of image processing operations in the market with four main feature groups: traffic monitoring, security monitoring, document digitization, and identification and face search. For traffic and security monitoring, the solution has been deployed in many large provinces such as Binh Phuoc, Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Ha Nam, Tay Ninh, Bac Giang, and Ninh Binh. In particular in Tan An city of Long An province,VNPT Smart Vision has been integrated into more than 120 cameras to help functional forces manage promptly detect and handle illegal acts such as unmanned aerial vehicles wearing helmets running red lights going in the wrong lane going in the opposite direction stopping and parking illegally detecting traffic accidents. Accordingly 80% reduction is seen in violations within the area contributing towards improving the quality of life for people living there.

It is known that in addition to traffic and security monitoring, VNPT is actively developing and applying an image recognition platform using artificial intelligence in many important fields such as healthcare, education, and digital payment. In the medical field, VNPT is also cooperating with the National Endocrine Hospital to apply this platform to support doctors in diagnosing and providing appropriate treatment regimens for thyroid cancer
With its achievements, VNPT not only affirms its position in the country but also contributes to bringing Vietnamese technology to the world level
