Artificial intelligence quantifies rodent infestation
Innovative technologies related to people's livelihoods also include the government's trial of a thermal detection camera equipped with artificial intelligence technology to monitor and analyze the activities of rats to quantify the rodent infestation.
According to government sources, the relevant detection cameras are being tested in several anti-rodent communities, covering 18 districts in Hong Kong since last month, and are also being used intensively in markets under the FEHD.
As the plan is still in progress, the effectiveness and sensitivity of the detection camera has not yet been determined.
